[SlugLUG] Perl book [was: Yikes!!!]

[Thomas Leavitt]

Can someone suggest a good, "programmed learning" style, book on
programming... along the lines of "Oh, Pascal!"

The combination of "Oh, Pascal!" and Turbo Pascal (with the integrated
IDE, etc.) really launched my "career" as a programmer... I really liked
the systematic, step by step by step process, with the code samples, the
suggested modifications, the actual practical hands on examples I was
able to get functioning on the lab computers, etc. and I'd like to
recapture that experience.

Hopefully in a high level programming language / framework (like Ruby on
Rails)... but I really don't care much *what* language, as long as it is
relatively modern and gives me the ability to create code that will
execute under Linux or even Windows...

Suggestions?
