This is an excellent Perl tutorial for those who are already familiar with UNIX/Linux shell scripting and other common utilities like find, sed, grep, and awk. Perl combines the strengths of each of these tools and surpasses them in one powerful and portable scripting language. This book is well worth the time and money spent with it for those in its target audience. This book is very well written. The examples are easy to follow and well thought out. The author clearly has a deep knowledge and long experience with the material presented. He takes a very common sense and practical approach to teaching the essentials of Perl scripting without getting the reader bogged down in all the details and capabilities of the language. He seems to have done an excellent job in selecting those parts of Perl that are of the most use for the greatest number of people who need to make use of it. I highly recommend this book.
