Rating:  - Definitive manual for Perl
If you are programming in Perl, this is a required book to have. It is the definitive manual on the language written by the author of the language, yet is very readable.
Rating: - It is difficult to study perl using only this book.
It is difficult to study perl using only this book.
Learning perl is the best way to study perl.
This book should be a reference of perl.
And there are many examples on the Net.
You can use these examples to modify for your purpose.
Sometimes, you should study how to debbug perl.

Rating: - Good Primer for Perl
I program in C# almost exclusively. However, I needed some serious regex power and this kind of power can only be handled/performed with Perl.

Rating: - The Definitive Guide for PERL!!!
I would not recommend this book upfront if you don't know any Perl. Read up Beginning Perl by Simon Cozens and feel around a bit. Then pick this book up and put in the effort and you WILL appreciate the power, truth and beauty about PERL.
It is not a light read... certainly wasn't for me. But at the end of it, the effort was so worth it. The book will give you several Aha moments and by the end of it, thou shalt be rewarded!!
