[TriLUG] OT: Perl question

[Andrew Perrin]

You shouldn't have too much trouble with your background. O'Reilly's
_Learning Perl_ is rumoured to be good, but when I learned perl (from a
similar background to yours) I did so from Larry Wall's _Programming
Perl_.  Up to you, really -- _Learning_ is more tutorial, _Programming_
more encyclopedic.  If you're doing fancy things (objects, tie(),
etc.) grab _Advanced Perl Programming_ too.
