Mastering Perl 5 (Mastering)

Rating:
Summary: A good book with BUGS
Review: This is a very good book for self starters. I am pretty impressed by the way topics are organized. However, it has several bugs, specially in the examples. So be careful. This book even touches some advance concepts like CGI, Win admin, registry, email handling & databases which I think are enough to get you going. I recommend it to every Perl enthusiast.
