new in perl

[jonsof]

I am completely new to perl. Could you tell me where could i start learning perl?

Thanks in advance

 

[YUPAPA]

A book?
I have the one called 'Perl' written by Simon Cozens. It is a very good book

 

[jonsof]

I think that the O'Reilly publications are the best regarding Perl. I mean references

 

[Lapras]

O'Reilly is good for perl. The Book I have on it even has a foreword by the Creator of Perl. Either way they have a lot of books on perl and not just the one I own. Or if you don't wan't a book. You could try going to: http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/programming/perl_cgi/

Programming Perl 3rd is the best book from what i have heard so far. Assumes that you have a little knoledge of Perl, otherwise Learning Perl is more suitable. Am i right?

 

[GibboNet]

Not wanting to come over as a cheapass, but has anyone got any other web links for Perl ?

I am completely new, and it seems I have to learn, because there just aren't the scripts that I need, nor people who know how to do it.

I am looking for very basics right to advanced. I simply don't have the cash to fork out on books, even though I know they're more likely to be more useful.

Thanks a bunch.
