Format:Paperback
I didn't feel that this book was for complete beginners which have no programming experience what so ever! It, at places went in to too much detail and didn't tell you why many of the functions of perl were there and what they did! This really annoyed me! Some functions were though explained on later days but these were days too late as I wanted to know later on! Although, im sure it would be ok if you had some programming experience!

Format:Paperback
This book is well-written for the real Perl beginners. You can get the hang of the regular experssion (called 'pattern matching' in this book) very easily. If you have any skill or experience in programming with other languages, I bet it will take much shorter than 21 days for you to write the powerful text-manipulating Perl script for your own use. I really recommend this book for the beginners. This book, however, could be cheaper without the useless CD-ROM attached.
Format:Paperback
Excellent introductory text. I have very little programming experience and this got the basics over very well, although it tends to be a little repetitive.
Lots of very clear examples and a nice little summary and workshop at the end of each lession. The CD contained code for everything if you wanted to do things quickly without bothering to type it all in. However, it could be improved by having more NT specific info, such as useful machine/network admin scripts.
