  <default_description>In this smooth, carefully paced course, a leading Perl trainer  teaches you to program in the language that threatens to make C, sed, awk, and the Unix shell obsolete for many tasks.  This book is the &quot;official&quot; guide for both formal (classroom) and informal learning.  It is fully  accessible to the novice programmer.</default_description>
