5.0 out of 5 stars
I highly recommend this book!,
By Roman Romanenko | rommi@bigfoot.com | (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mastering Perl 5 (Paperback)
If you are not familiar with UNIX and would like to develop a dynamic site running on a Windows based server this book will help you!A day before I bought this book, I thought that PERL is spelled PEARL. This should give you an idea of how much I knew about it. I also had no knowledge of programming. Since I started working with the Internet, I needed a set of tools. I always associated PERL with UNIX, but after hearing about PERL for Win32 I got interested. About 20 hours after buying this book I had my web site talk to my database. I did not copy examples from the book. I wrote the code to do what I needed it to do. It would be great to sit down and read the book cover to cover and then start development, but time is of the essence. I jumped to the section that interested me the most, which is the very last section in the book. When I needed more details I went back and found the details. The book works well as a "How To" as well as "Reference". When I needed additional information I emailed the author. To my surprise, I got a response next day! I highly recommend this book!

A good book with BUGS,
This review is from: Mastering Perl 5 (Paperback)
This is a very good book for self starters. I am pretty impressed by the way topics are organized. However, it has several bugs, specially in the examples. So be careful. This book even touches some advance concepts like CGI, Win admin, registry, email handling & databases which I think are enough to get you going. I recommend it to every Perl enthusiast.

Actually makes sense to a dummy like me!,
By Steve Klett (steveklett@hotmail.com) (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mastering Perl 5 (Paperback)
I have no programming experience at all, NONE!, ZERO, ZILCH! I have tried other books (mostly C books) and they have lost me almost right away. But with MASTERING PERL 5, I am on my way to programming oneness =) I have had it for just over 1 week and I'm already typing up code on my own (be it simple code).I highly reccomend this book, especially if you are a newbie, like me. That's all, now stop reading these stupid reviews and buy the book!
