Going through the online version now. Very pragmatic writing style and wastes no time in getting to the point (Kernigan/Ritchie influence is seen).

Very nice. Thank you for sharing it with one and all.

This book (and reading CPAN documentation) is how I learned Perl. Its a fantastic guide to getting started with the language and some things you will run into no matter what (Moose for example).

This is the stuff that keeps me coming back to Hacker News.

its an awesome book, just bought it from amazon like two weeks ago, its amazing how simple it makes it to pick up Perl quickly
