Gentlemen
I seem to have managed to start teaching perl for Learning Tree.
Now, I'm looking at the stack of books I'm taking into the Intro to
Perl course and wondering if I should take any others. This is a
course that is ostensibly for people who know how to program but
don't know perl. Now, the last course I taught actually had 7 people
with extensive sysadmin experience but no programming background.
So, I'm wondering what other folks might consider essential perl
books. I've got this lot in the pile right now:
Programming Perl
Perl Cookbook
Mastering Regular Expressions
Perl Best Practices
and I throw in a mod_perl book as well.
The course covers up to (but not really including) object orientation
so I haven't bothered with anything really OO based. It also doesn't
cover DBI although I gave a DBI example last time because a student
asked.
Does anyone have any other book suggestions?
cheers
