This is a really good book for beginners or those in the midst of learning PERL and CGI web forms. One of the things I like about the Visual Quickstart series is that they're task based. I need to know how to do X. It walks you through how to do X in very simple language with clear examples. The O'Reilly book is good as a reference if you already know PERL and are an experienced programmer. This saved my behind when I was learning and needed to get a web form up quickly.

This is a much better reference than O'Reilly's messy Perl book. I still pick it up (since I hardly ever use Perl) probably once a month.
