special purpose book

I have used this book for teaching a Perl/CGI course at a post-secondary technical college. Course Technologies usually does a good job with their instructional material and this is no exception. I have also used other texts by Diane Zak, and they are all first rate. This is a great book for teaching server side scripting in a non-academic setting. WARNING: This isn't a Perl book so don't expect to learn Perl, although this will certainly get you started. It isn't a CGI book. It isn't an architecture book. It's not a web design book. It doesn't cover database connectivity. It's special purpose is to get you up and running using Perl for server side scripting, and for this purpose it does an excellant job, and I have no problem giving it 5 stars for this special purpose.
