Introduction to Cgi/Perl : Getting Started With Web Scripts
by Steven E. Brenner , Edwin Aoki , Brenner

The book covers introductory features needed to begin interpreting PERL used for CGI scripts. Also, there are explanations of HTTP transactions and creating customized web pages based on browser input. The book ends with several appendices, the most important being a trouble shooting helper for script writers and the CGI-PERL library. A must for new to the job webmasters, especially those not familiar with the C family of languages. Recommended as a prelude before attempting to learn PERL on your own. It is a pity, though, that the authors did not review more applicable server scripts such as animated gifs etc. For all those who think that UNIX is a pain, PERL has got a few more twists.

The CD-ROM presents source code used in the book, libraries, and more.

by Larry Wall , Randal L. Schwartz , Tom Christiansen , Stephen Potter

In a nutshell (pun fully intended), this is the one book that EVERY Perl programmer should own. Also known as the "Camel" book (for reasons that will become apparent as soon as you see the cover), Programming Perl contains everything you need to know about the language. This second edition expands the scope of the first edition to include the additional functionality of Perl 5 and also adds some welcome features of its own, including a much more detailed index and an extremely useful glossary section. My copy of the first edition is dog-eared and dirty from constant access. I doubt it will be long before my copy of this edition looks the same.
