As I said: there's about 5 to 8 books out there. How old is Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C? Please! Yes, there's a ton of good Perl books, but you will not find most of them at the big mega chains (ie, Borders, Books-a-million, Barnes & Noble). What you will find is the Camel, the Llama, the Rat, maybe the Panther, and a few others like Beginning Perl for Bioinformatics. But my point is that you will not find a selection that even approaches the Java selection. And quite frankly, I just find the Java titles a lot more appealing than titles like "Perl for Website Management" (which I'm sure is a great book, by the way) or "Perl for System Administration" (again, how long has this book been out?).

Just try to imagine yourself as a non-programmer or even a novice walking into one of these stores. Which language do you think you will be drawn to?

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.
