Re: Unwritten Perl Books -- "Perl for the non-programmer"?

No one mentioned "Perl for the non-programmer." I see this for many other languages but the closest I can think of Perl is the awful "Perl for Dummies." Is this book out there? "Perl and CGI for the World Wide Web" comes close (second edition only!), but it's for a specific niche.

Focusing on the Web, O'Reilly's Perl for Web Site Management provides an excellent introduction to Perl and Unix for people new to these things. I would recommend it over any Peachpit or Dummies book without hesitation.	[reply]

No one mentioned "Perl for the non-programmer." This is exactly what Andrew Johnson's Elements of Programming with Perl is for. And it's very good. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]
