"This book...is one of the best technical books that I have ever read. I've been writing applications and particularly CGI in Perl for several years and right there in Chapter 1 I started to learn all of the things that I missed in my self-education on the subject. My main problem with Perl was that I considered it a generator of 'quick and dirty' code?This book showed me right away how very wrong I was about that. Perl is a mature language that is more than ready to stand as a formidable tool in your toolbox.

"This book starts with a very, very good refresher on Perl concepts and doesn't ignore the more advanced functionality either. The first chapter alone is worth the price of the book...So as one PowerBuilder programmer to another I advise you, on my strongest possible recommendations to get this book and add it to your skill set. It will only make you a better programmer."
