Dummies! :) *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2015* This was a funny purchase. I actually received PC for Dummies circa 2002. What the???? Some poor soul doing the picking did send me a dummy book that started with the letter 'P' but that's not very close to my intended study of PERL script. The vendor processed my return very nicely and we both had a chuckle over the mix up. The correct book was sent to me. Yes it took longer than I had planned to get the book I wanted, but kudos to the vendor's good attitude. As for the PERL for Dummies book. I've worked through most of the chapters. I would not depend on this PERL book alone for study. If, like me, you are coming to PERL as a non programmer seeking to understand what is running and why, then it is informative at best. Not compendious. Not over narrow. A good blend of information that will help you move on to the weightier tomes on the subject. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book! *by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2000* I bought this book hoping to expand my knowledge of Internet programming. Having never read a Perl tutorial before in my life, I was clinging to the concept of luck that I would come out with a great book rather than one to take the hassle of returning. Not only did I come out with a great book, but I came out with a great introduction, explanation, and tutorial of the Perl language, but also a VERY useful reference source. I would never have regretted purchasing this book for an instant. The author covers many of the necessary aspects of the language thoroughly, leaving me with a clear understanding of this great programming tool. The only part that could have been covered better was DBM and relational databases, although I know that that was not one of the targets of this book as a tutorial, it would have come in handy as a reference. I strongly recommend this to any one looking for a solid introduction/reference to this great language, and also to any one with previous experience in Perl. It comes in great as a reference, and you might even learn something new! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good reference for a knuckle dragger *by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2020* Honestly it kind of bored me reading this. But the syntax and related were dead on accurate. A good effort and a well documented guide. I was hoping for more levity. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/9490126-perl-for-dummies-4th-edition](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/9490126-perl-for-dummies-4th-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
