Ok, this should explain why I need a "dummy" book.....I searched for "perl" and
only looked at the "top results", I didn't scroll down the page looking for the
specific book I wanted. (I guess that's what happens when I spend the day
scouring for Lego. I went to that TRU that had the silver buckets for $7.97,
but decided against them. I have quite a bit of bulk bricks sitting around that
didn't sell during my last sale.)
I did read the reviews on "Learning Perl second edition", talk about totally
opposite opinions!
A few months ago we asked everysoft if the program would work on our site that
we get free from our ISP, they said it should, if..... ( I don't remember the
if part!)
I think I'll head to the book stores tomorrow to see if any of them carry it.
