By "O'Reilly Perl/CGI books" do you mean the "Camel"
book? ;) What I mean is, do you have <u>Programming Perl</u>
(3rd Edition)? It's a great reference book and definitely the most
used book on my shelf.<br><br>
I've also occasionally used the <u>Perl Cookbook</u> by Tom Christiansen
& Nathan Torkington (another O'Reilly book). It's full of
"recipes" to accomplish common tasks in Perl.<br><br>
Of course, I also have the <u>Mastering Regular Expressions</u>,
<u>Programming the Perl DBI</u> and <u>Perl Graphics Programming</u>, but
I haven't used them much (I just recently got the <u>Perl Graphics
Programming</u> book for an upcoming project creating graphs where I
expect I'll use it). I learned enough about regular
expressions to get by in the Camel book and I picked up the DBI from
examples.<br><br>
