Can anyone recommend a good beginning Perl book?

| The book I was learning from had a lot of code errors, so I'm looking
to buy another one, but don't want to waste time & money again on
another poorly written book. Any recommendation on a good Perl book
for a beginner?

| I recently worked through the "Sams Teach Yourself Perl in 21 Days" and
liked it a lot. There were a few mistakes in the examples, but they
weren't hard to fix when I compiled the code. A lot of people start
with the Oreilly books, so they may be pretty good, but I couldn't tell
you since I never used them.

The canonical book for learning Perl is, not surprisingly, "Learning
Perl", by Randal Schwartz. Once you "graduate" from that book, you can
move on to its sequel "Intermediate Perl".
For a free alternative, there is a free ebook version of Beginning Perl
available on http://learn.perl.org
