which one is the "camel book"?

[AMiSM]

...is it "Learning Perl" or "Programming Perl"? They both have a camel on the front.
...or is one as good as the other?

They are both O'Reilly books. 'Learning Perl' is a much gentler introduction to perl than 'Programming Perl' is. If you are pretty new to perl and programming I recommend 'Learning Perl' first.

Technically, the animal on "Learning Perl" is a Llama (so that's the "Llama book", obviously). The "Camel book" is "Programming Perl".

If you have experience with programming in other languages, there should be no need to start with the Llama. If you're learning both Perl and programming, I would start with that one, however.

ok, yeah. The first graphic for "the llama book" I saw was too small to make out the animal.
