I would recommend an older book - the Deitel book - Perl How to Program.
Amazon has it
(http://www.amazon.com/Perl-How-Program-Harvey-Deitel/dp/0130284181/ref=cm_cr
_pr_product_top), and there are reviews on their site that are very
favorable.

Subject: [nycphp-talk] Newbie books

Hey, all. I wanted to introduce myself. I'm an experienced programmer
(remember ASP, before dont net?) with little formal training, so often
referred to as a hacker. I'm a professional Front End Dev - XHTML, CSS,
JS - now tackling PHP and loving it. A couple coworkers recommended this
list, so I'll be eavesdropping.

I'm looking to go thru a book or two and need some help. I know all
about loops, conditional statements, and the basics of programming. I
understand the concepts behind OOP, but have limited experience with
actually using it. I immediately grasped the basics of the PHP syntax
but am starting to balk at the double colon meaning a static class and
the single vs double arrow... So I guess I'm looking for something
intermediate, and wondering if anyone can make a suggestions?

Thanks,

Corey
