8/17    My sister is looking to learn perl, but she's not really a professional
        programmer.  Can anyone recommend a decent perl book which isn't too
        complicated?  TIA.

           \_ Seconded. You might be able to get it for free after mir
              from fry's this week.
        \_ Just curious.  What for?
        \_ Not really a professional programmer?  Perl sounds perfect!
           \_ Riiiight.  Whatever, man.
