4.0 out of 5 stars
Be patient, and it'll pay off,
By OkeyPlus (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Special Edition Using Perl 5 for Web Programming (Paperback)
When I bought this book, I had absolutely no serious programming background. I was pretty accomplished in HTML, but nothing advanced. At first, the book was a bit hard. But the technique that I found helpful is to re-read each section (or each topic). I haven't even looked on the CD yet, and I'm learning loads about Perl. Also, reading this book really helps one understand some more advanced Perl tutorials on the web. It doesn't get 5 stars though, because the reader has to really be committed. This isn't a light read: get in the thinking mood when you read it.

Potential to be good but lacking some source code.,

This review is from: Special Edition Using Perl 5 for Web Programming (Paperback)
This book had the potential to be very good and I did learn some things from it, but many of the example results lacked the source code that generated the results. In addition, much of the source code that was in the book was not on the included CD.

Rushed into hardcopy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Special Edition Using Perl 5 for Web Programming (Paperback)
QUE must have pushed this book into print. As other reviewers have noted, one has to have dogged determination and stamina to digest this book. It presents a confusing, unrelated and diverse array of "my pet way do it" by several authors. The examples on the CD are pathetic - all lumped into one directory, no readme file(s), incomplete and therefore not runnable as-is. Example: to extract the files related to Ch 9 required sifting through the entire chapter, and then register.htm and its CGI backend were conspicuously missing. However, after bludgeoning my way through most of the book, I have extracted a small number of gems that are actually useful in real-life projects. The CD contains this whole book plus two others in HTML format. A nice idea, but each one is disorganized by a totally different team of people. There is no unified 'look-n-feel' and navigation is painful in all three books. Good as a reference, shop for it 2nd hand (and pay only what it is worth).
