Learning Perl Student Workbook, 2nd Edition

If you’re a programmer, system administrator, or web hacker just getting started with Perl, this workbook helps you gain hands-on experience with the language right away. It’s the perfect companion to the 6th Edition of Learning Perl (known as “the Llama”), which is based on the popular introductory Perl course taught by the book’s authors since 1991.

The first half of this workbook presents the exercises, with answers in the second half. The material covers Perl up to version 5.14.
