5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best Perl book I've seen., 5 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Hi Eric,

I emailed you some weeks back re Sender.pm and your book. In the past few weeks I've been productively using your book and wanted to say I think its the best Perl book I have seen. I've bought half a dozen or so in the past and what I like about your book is that it draws together the Unix and Windows Perl worlds and (being from a Unix background) has made the transition to programming in a NT environment much easier for me.

Also the database coverage (ODBC) is excellent. This is an area I have steered away from in the past as finding tutorials or good documentation has not been easy. Your sample of a more or less complete application (the transportation database) is just what I needed to get into it.

With your book I think programmers can start to see how usefull perl is in an NT environment (and not just for Unix types ....) so this will come as a pleasant surprise to a lot of Win32 programmers who haven't had many options in the past.

I have given Eric Herrmann my permission to use this email - Doug Robb

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST Perl 5 book there is!, 10 Jul 2000
This Perl 5 book is amazing! The book describes all the functions and commands of Perl 5 in detail. All the commands are illustrated with examples that anyone can understand. Reading this book is not anoying, in fact, reading this fantastic book became a pleasure after the first week! Buy it if you want to learn Perl. You need nothing but this book to learn it! It has everything in just one book!

5.0 out of 5 stars I highly recommend this book!, 6 Jul 1999
By A Customer
If you are not familiar with UNIX and would like to develop a dynamic site running on a Windows based server this book will help you!

A day before I bought this book, I thought that PERL is spelled PEARL. This should give you an idea of how much I knew about it. I also had no knowledge of programming.

Since I started working with the Internet, I needed a set of tools. I always associated PERL with UNIX, but after hearing about PERL for Win32 I got interested.

About 20 hours after buying this book I had my web site talk to my database. I did not copy examples from the book. I wrote the code to do what I needed it to do.

It would be great to sit down and read the book cover to cover and then start development, but time is of the essence. I jumped to the section that interested me the most, which is the very last section in the book. When I needed more details I went back and found the details. The book works well as a "How To" as well as "Reference".

When I needed additional information I emailed the author. To my surprise, I got a response next day!

I highly recommend this book!
