Best book on Perl programming language. If you need to get a Perl job, this book will suffice. It even covers DBIx, Test:: and Catalyst. Read this along with Modern Perl to become a Perl Guru.

Just woaw! My very first book on Perl...and actually...my very first attempt to learn Perl...

I gotta say...this book is massive...with more than 700 pages! But totally a delight to read...well explained...full of examples and written in a perfect way...

After reading this I'm not more than a Perl newbie...but being a Perl newbie is better than being a zero Perl -;)

If you haven't...read this book...it will introduce you to the world of Perl is the most fantastic way...simply...pure magic...

Great book for Perl

In depth coverage of the fundamental and advanced topics. Good examples of how syntax works and some good complete programs.

Since I read Beginning Perl around 2014, I regret not more books follows its aim: « getting a job and having fun while learning the skills you need », (« get a job, hippy! » being the rejected subtitle).

More, a programming book which focuses on tests before the last chapter is definitively a great one.

Hands down the best introduction to the language I've encountered. If you read this entire book, you'll be able to handle most reasonable Perl code, and even some of the unreasonable bits.
