5.0 out of 5 starsModern book about modern perl
By Amazon Customer on November 30, 2010
Format: Paperback
I really like this book for many reasons:

First it is about Perl and how to make most out of Perl. Perl 5 has been blessed with some great additions in CPAN, which are not covered in most other Perl books (at least not in those I read so far). This book explains those additions and some concepts behind them. It is interesting and informative.

Second it was written in the true Perl spirit which is in the open, i.e., you could go to the books website and get the chapters still in draft. So there is feedback and improvement already in this first edition. With other books you have to wait for the second edition to have those things.

Third it shows that Perl 5 is not an old-fashioned language that cannot compete with the new hip languages, but Perl 5 still has a future. You just have to write the right kind of Perl code and the book explains how to do this.

In summary, if you like Perl 5, I'd say you will like this book.

5.0 out of 5 starsWell written and comprehensive
By Old and Feeble on November 12, 2010
Format: Paperback
I (= Shlomi Fish) have read a draft of this book from cover to cover as I contributed to its proofreading process. The book is well-written, accurate and comprehensive, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to any beginning and intermediate Perl programmer. The only downside as far as I was concerned was that it didn't teach me too many new things, but at least I did not detect any obvious inaccuracies there.

If you want to learn what modern Perl is all about, be sure to grab a copy of this book.

5.0 out of 5 starsBest Overview of Perl
By frito_bandito on November 30, 2010
Format: Paperback
This book is Perl's new bible. It is by far the clearest Perl overview, explaining the logic behind the language's features.

Reading this book made me forget it was a programming book -- it is one of the best technical volumes I've ever read, bar none. The writing is to the point, and pulls everything together in a single concise volume. This book is a classic.

My only "criticism" is that it obsoletes a lot of well-worn Perl books on my bookshelf, but then, Perl keeps advancing so new books are needed.

4.0 out of 5 starsModern Perl
By PeterGo on December 9, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is not a beginners book. It is a good reference for navigating Perldoc and CPAN. It also gives good tips on programming elegantly in Perl.
I don't like the fonts chosen for the examples. Reserved words such as while, for, and keys are not in bold type which makes them difficult to read.
My copy, published in October 2010 covers changes up to Version 5.12

5.0 out of 5 starsThe best guide to modern Perl programming
By D. Farrell on January 25, 2012

This book is fantastic: as a guide to modern Perl programming, there is nothing better. It is comprehensive, but is written in a clear, warm and concise style that is a pleasure to read.

5.0 out of 5 starsGood book; teaches Perl nicely
By George R. Self on October 18, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I teach Perl at a community college and plan to start using this book for the upcoming term. It teaches modern techniques; but is still adequate for a beginner. It also covers several more advanced topics (like MOOSE), so will make a valuable addition to a student's library. Best of all, the price is right (especially for college students who are used to paying over $100 for a book).

5.0 out of 5 starsThe perl reference
By krism on April 25, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
If you can already program, this book is an incredible way to pick up modern perl. It's something you might not be aware of when you first approach the language, but there's a ton of material out there that teaches "the old (less than ideal) way." This book will save you from that.
