Title: Learning PERL the Hard Way: Perl Programming for Beginners
Abstract: Do we really need another Perl book?Obviously yes: This is a book for people who already know how to program in another language, but don't know Perl.A book that gets through the basics as quickly as possible. How to do the fun stuff.A book that emphasizes good programming style in Perl. Many of the Perl programs are written in a quick-and-dirty style; I wanted to see if the style I have developed in other languages can translate.In many Perl books, object-oriented programming is treated as an optional feature for advanced programming. I wanted to bring it closer to the center of focus (although I am anything but an object-oriented bigot).In presenting Perl features, I tried to find examples that are interesting in their own right, and that encourage the reader to explore Perl's features.
