Re: Please guide me regarding good books/resources on data structures and algorithms

[eyepopslikeamosquito]

There are very few Perl books that focus on algorithms and data structures because a lower level language, such as C++, tends to be better suited to that. To illustrate, you rarely write your own linked list or sorting algorithm in Perl; you tend to use built-in language features or CPAN modules for those sorts of tasks. In fact, the only Perl books I can think of that offer much in that regard are:

• Mastering Algorithms with Perl by Hietaniemi, Macdonald, and Orwant
• Higher Order Perl by MJD (an advanced book)

As for general advice on Perl books and how to learn Perl, there is no shortage of advice on those topics at Perl Monks.
