I have been using Perl for many years and consider myself an advanced user. I own well over a dozen Perl books (8 published by O'Reilly), and this is the one that continually gets cracked open (it has tape on the spine -- always a good sign). The book is a little more accessible than the Programming Perl book, and it covers tons of various solutions. It's a valuable addition to the toolbox.

The book, excelent.. but I had problems with the delivery. Fortunally I bougth it to Amazon and they sended to me another book. When I have used UPS or FEDEX I have not had any problem, but with the normal mail, please I don't want it anymore..

Mine is the strength of 10 - for I know perl.
This book is enjoyable to read - warm and chatty. This book has recipes you can clip and modify. This book is my favorite perl book.
Hey, y'all - I am usually agnostic when it comes to languages and platforms and such - after all, what good does it do to denigrate somebody's favorite programming language?
But I am a lover of perl and turn to it first, if possible.
A reasonable mastery of perl will increase your sysadm, programming, and scripting powers manyfold. Launch a process and monitor it! Grind thru humugously huge log files! In the words of the immortal Steve Wittie "I'll never write shell script again!"
Larry Wall - the great Larry Wall, Tom Christianson and the rest have the grace and good humor of Donald Knuth and Dennis Ritchie in the days of old.
And perl is so 'cool' so flexible, so fun.
Rating: - excellent book!
This book has many techniques that help you solve your date to date problem using Perl. if you are familiar with Perl's syntax, you should have no problem picking up this book. The solution for each problem also has great detail on How and Why to solve a problem this way, plus the related Perldoc.
oh, even though this book published 3 years ago, all knowledge applied ( since we are still facing the same kind of problem ;)
