For a book I am working on, I have written a brief (13 page) summary
of Perl. The intent of this is that an experienced programmer who did
not know Perl would be able to get enough information to read and
understand Perl programs. It is not meant to be a 100% complete
summary of the language, but everything in there should be correct.

If anyone is interested, please feel free to read it and send me
comments. Note that the material is copyrighted, this document is
provided for review only, and the ideas contained in any comments may
be used in the book, in whole or in part, with no rights granted to
the person who provided the comments. I will however acknowledge by
name (if desired) anyone who sends comments.

The information is in PDF form per my publisher's request, but if this
is a problem for anyone, email me and I can send it to you in plain
text.

The file is at

I have written similar summaries for other languages and will
hopefully post them in the appropriate newsgroups in the next few
days.

Thank you.
