Paul Barry writes "Another book review by me, this time it is the classic text "Perl: The Programmer's Companion" by Nigel Chapman. Despite being a few years old, I think this is one of the best introductory texts out there. The review is available on the Linux Journal web-site. Thanks."
Perl for newbies

I don't really think that I have seen a programming book that really puts programming in "laymans" terms. The truth is programming is like learning another language. Tools and syntax are are the equivallent of grammar and vocabulary.
For any newbie wishing to learn perl, the first book that I would recomment would be
Learning Perl published by O'Reily and Associates then followed by
Programming Perl also published by O'Reily and Associates.
Good luck to the perl newbies!
