[oak perl] seeking comments on a perl tutorial I just found on web

[Kester Allen]

I'll add my periodic plug for the fine "Perl, the Programmer's
Companion" by Chapman
(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/047197563X/qid=1104964460/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/103-9287427-4403003?v=glance&s=books&n=507846)
, which was my introduction to Perl, lo these many years ago.

I found the tutorial page you mentioned to be a little short on
explaination for what was going on, especially towards the end; the
reference to "new features in Perl5" made me nervous about its
current-ness.  Also, the "exit" command at the end of each example
grated a bit.

Just my $.02.
