## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent introduction to Perl, even for non-programmers.
*by J***. on January 14, 2012*

I am a computer professional, but not a programmer. I took a C++ course in college, 10 years ago, and in the last couple years I have taken up Bash scripting. I figured I could probably do more if I learned a real language, instead of just playing with Bash.This book did not disappoint. It's been excellent. It takes a very practical approach to educating the reader on the mechanics of Perl, focusing on cumulative knowledge as the chapters move along. The text is reasonably engaging, and the material moves at a good pace - not too fast and not too slow. The exercises at the end of the chapters help reinforce the material, and even includes estimates of how long the programming should take. It clearly articulates differences between Perl versions without droning on incessantly about tiny nuances. It is riddled with footnotes for more advanced users to help them understand more and more exceptions to basic rules, as they are initially taught by the text.To be clear, this book isn't a book that teaches how to program. If you're looking for something that covers procedural logic, this is not the book for you. However, I would suspect that even someone without a deep computer background, but just a strong willingness to learn, would find this book beneficial.If you ARE a programmer, you might find it a bit novice, and the pace a little slow - maybe not though, maybe you should just absorb the material faster and fly through the chapters. It's hard for me to say.It was exactly what I was looking for, and after some more practice, I believe I may be moving on to Intermediate Perl.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great way to learn
*by J***E on May 25, 2015*

Love this book. I set myself at a pace to read about 10 pages a day and that seemed to be a good pace for me. Soaked in the material very well and I love the exercises. I have a few minor gripes but nothing worth docking a star for. For example they occasionally use features you haven't learned yet without explaining, there are a couple things I don't think they spend enough time on or make you practice enough (eg: working with filehandles) and I think toward the end of the book they got a little bit lazy with the exercises. Also you'll hate the flintstones by the end of the book.Those gripes aside this is a fantastic way to learn Perl. The first script I wrote after finishing the book was over 500 lines and automated a painful task I had to do every day at work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like it!
*by Z***. on September 17, 2013*

I buy so many electronics from Amazon I feel like I need to review the book for its construction. Like "Excellent binding, pages were not torn."As for actual content it is complete, has several advances topics and is worded nicely. It doesn't measure up to some of the other O'Reilly books in some spots. Most notably it doesn't hilight how to install Perl (I normally have the stuff installed beforehand, I just noticed it wasn't there this time around).I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn Perl, its clear, and it uses a realatively recent version of Perl as compared with its competitors and has some fallow-up books by the same publisher, should you want to further your learning.
