This book is a gentle introduction to Perl. By the time you've gone through this book, you'll have touched on the majority of the simpler operations and common language idioms found in most Perl programs. This book is not intended as a comprehensive guide to Perl; on the contrary, in order to keep the book from growing unmanageably large, we've been selective about covering only those constructs and issues that you're most likely to use early in your Perl programming career.

As a prelude to your more advanced study, however, we've included a heavier chapter at the end of the book. It's about CGI programming, but along the way, it touches upon library modules, references, and object-oriented programming in Perl. We hope it whets your appetite for these more advanced topics.
