( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

OK, I was going to stay out of this, because I have experience working for a few publishers and am not, therefore, an objective observer.

However, someone needs to plug the recently released Learning Perl, 3rd Ed.. What was the de-facto standard (co-written by someone we know) has been greatly improved.

I'm one of those people you don't want in your training sessions. Yet, Llama3 read precisely like the best seminars/training classes I've attended. Even if you have an older edition of the book, I urge you to take a look. It's well worth buying again.

imnsho, of course. ymmv...

P.S. Since you insist, I will almost always prefer O'Reilly over Sams. The former tries; the latter doesn't seem to give a pica about quality--only money.

Update: Yak! I fixed that last comment to reflect my true feelings. Bloody tpyo's.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
