I'm looking for book recommendations for learning Perl. I'm
comfortable with C/C++, Java, and Python, so I'm not looking for a
beginner book. My current reasons for learning Perl are to hack
together a few scripts to access a database, and possibly another
script to allow data entry over the web.
Trawling the FAQs and Deja, the most frequently recommended books seem
to be "Programming Perl" and "Learning Perl" - are those likely to
give me the information I need? Are there any other (newer?) books
which would be more suitable for what I'm trying to do?
Many thanks for any guidance - I know book recommendations are FAQs,
but the answers I've seen seem to be geared more towards
non-programmers.
