1.0 out of 5 stars
Inaccurate, misleading and very disappointing !,
By colin_froggatt@acuma.co.uk (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Perl 5 Unleashed (Paperback)
As a complete novice to Perl, the cover comments and certifications looked good. But it didn't take me long to realise that this was one of the worst computing books I've read. Inaccurate explanations, incorrect examples, examples on the CD that don't work, sections of corrupted text, the list goes on. I expected far better from a publisher like SAMS. I've complained to SAMS but they havn't replied ! DON'T BUY THIS BOOK !

A definate DON'T BUY!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Perl 5 Unleashed (Paperback)
I am very disappointed in Sams Publishing for releasing this book. It is technically inaccurate contrary to what the apporval emblem from Michael Moncur on the back cover says. I would like to see Sams Publishing pull this book off of the shelves. It is very misleading to any programmer. I have been programming PERL for 3 years. Trust me on this one. Get Programming PERL from OReilly and Associates. It is the required PERL resource.

Errors, mistakes, untested examples and foggy explanations,
By A Customer
This review is from: Perl 5 Unleashed (Paperback)
Do not buy. Typos, examples that don't work,
examples that don't match the text and worse
abound. As a Perl beginner, I found myself
constantly looking beyond the book - changing the code to "what they
really meant" and guessing about the gaps. The book leaves much of the
important syntax a mystery. Finally I realized there
must be a review of this book on the web.
There is one by Tom Christiansen that, from my
experience, hits it head on, was fun reading
given my enormous frustration, and told me
how misinformed I'd been even about
features that "seemed to work". Check it out -
the review, not the book - and laugh
