Thread: Perl Book

I also need a Perl programming book to use as a reference but also as a means to learning the product. I am a DBA but fairly new to coding in Perl.
Does anyone have a recommendation?
Thanks
Jodi

The classic and best general Perl reference is _Programming Perl_:

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/pperl3/

For database-specific work, you might also want:

If you're brand new to Perl, you may want to start with Learning Perl:

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lperl3/

Programming Perl is a good reference, but it's a tough book to learn
with.

The Perl DBI book is very good, also.

You might want to give "PostgreSQL" by Korry Douglas (Sam's Publishing)
a spin, as it has information regarding the internals of postgresql,
database administration, and several chapters on different interfaces to
postgresql (inlcuding about 50 pages on perl and dbi).

Also, not sure how relevant it is, but oreilly has a number of
bio-informatics books, several of which deal specifically with perl.

Does anyone have a recommendation?
