I have found the forewords in all my O'Reilly books very worthwhile including this one. The first chapter ( A Stroll Through Perl) is enough to get you doing some serious and useful work. If you have any programming experience this chapter alone could be all you need.


I use the rest of the book as a reference and an invaluable one. "Learning Perl" sounds like it's meant for beginners, but this book is meaty enough to carry you much farther.
