Absolutely essential for the Perl programmer. I learned Perl using this book and still refer to it from time to time. ( )

I would say that this is THE BOOK for learning Perl. Funny and easy to read. ( )

A classic. I own two copies, at work and at home. Sometimes I pick a page at random, I'm sure it will make me laugh in a page or two. ( )

The "Camel Book", as this book is often called, is the Perl Bible. It's not only an exhaustive reference, but clearly written any *funny* to boot. The humour pervades the text, making a sometimes dry subject much more approachable.

No Perl programmer can afford to be without this book, and anybody considering writing a technical reference should refer to this book to see how it's done. ( )

Absolutely indispensible. I've tried other Perl books when I couldn't get my hands on mine and none even compare. Obviously later editions are even better. ( )
