If you're already a programmer (know what arrays and subroutines are), you might find "Learning Perl" better than "Beginning Perl".
Hello Randal,
Thank you so much for noticing my Blog.
Yes, Learning Perl is better if some one knows little bit of perl.
Actually I am teaching perl to my friends who do the job of systems administration. They want to increase there skills on there job by learning perl. At the end of there course, I am planing to talk on book "Perl for System Administration" by David N. Blank-Edelman. This will give them a good future direction.
I already know the perl, I am gr8 fan of you and people like Simon Cozens , Tom Christiansen, Damian Convay, Lincoln D. Stein.
