Learning Perl, written by a leading Perl instructor, provides a systematic,
step-by-step, tutorial approach to learning the language. There are
numerous short code examples punctuating a relaxed, informal, and precise
tour of all the main features of the language. In addition, each chapter
contains exercise problems, together with their solutions. Anyone who
works through the book will be capable of programming with a broad and
productive range of Perl features. For a comprehensive and detailed guide
to programming with perl, read O'Reilly's companion book Programming
perl.
