Learning Perl and Programming Perl)? _Perl Best Practices_ is a *great* book. It's not really "intro" exactly and it has no exercises, but I found it really helpful in clarifying some of the murk that surrounds Perl (TIMTOWTDI) and, well, "best practices." I highly recommend it. I'm also a huge fan of _Perl Cookbook_ (and _Programming Perl_), but again neither are really intro, though the cookbook has 1,000+ pages of examples. To really answer you actual question, and based on your posts to this list, I'd guess that http://minimalperl.com/ might be of interest. I'd also be interested to know why the books you mentioned don't meet your needs.

Innate design flaws of Windows make a personal firewall, anti-virus and anti-malware software mandatory. The resulting software arms race has effectively flattened Moore's Law on hardware running Windows. ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
