2.0 out of 5 stars Good but not that good!, May 11, 2000

This review is from: Advanced Perl Programming (Paperback)

This book title is supposedly a misnomer. There is nothing "Advanced" about it. It talks about the general programming stuff such as CGI, ActiveX but at the very grass root levels and doesn't really cover the related issues in detail. It fails to talk much about inter-communcation between Perl and C programs which I really need at this time. I would recommend using the perl website for a better understanding of things. Also the Perl Cookbook - O'Reilly brothers is a handy book to keep.

This review is from: Advanced Perl Programming (Paperback)

Perfect beginner book who also wants to gain some advance knowledge of PERL. Book does glance over how PERL and C programs are inter-related. However, this is not important for those transitioning into PERL. Pretty much the best book ever written about advance PERL programming and was largely responsible for landing me my cush job 6 figure job in San Jose. I swear by this baby.
