Perl Best Practices by Damian Conway

"If you are looking for a book to teach you how to program Perl, this is definitely not what you needAlso, if you are cranking out quick Perl scripts to solve one-time tasks, it might not be worth the effort to read this book. However, if you are fairly comfortable with the language and are looking for ways to improve your code, this book would be a wonderful addition to your bookshelf." - James Mohr, Linux Magazine, November 2005
