Learning Perl: Schwartz, Christiansen

Learning Perl, Fourth Edition

This is a good, useful, if a bit short intro and guide to the Perl language. Rather than try to teach you how to write one application using every concept it wants to teach, it presents them all separately (although sometimes building on each other) which is the style I prefer. My only gripe is I would have preferred a LOT more regular expression focus because, well that is what most people use Perl primarily for anyway.
