    Fantastic if you already know how to program
  

*by L***L on Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2021*

Lots of books teach you basic computer science and programming as they teach you the language. "Modern Perl" doesn't; the author assumes you know what variables and operators are. That saves you a lot of time and lets you dive into *why* Perl does this or that. I've been doing Perl for a while and I learned a lot. I've done other languages as well, and "Modern Perl" gave me a deeper appreciation of Perl in the language ecosystem.Very much in the same vein as "The Well Grounded Rubyist" (Black, Leo) and "Python 3 Object Oriented Programming" (Phillips). If Perl is useful for your task load, "Modern Perl" is a great learning tool.

    A Reunion with an Old Friend
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2016*

This book was enjoyable, informative, and it reacquainted me with my old friend Perl.Perl and I used to have so much fun together.  Back in the day (2000-2010), Perl was my right hand man.  I used C/C++ and SQL to write project code, and Perl to analyze, automate, simulate, emulate, innovate, prototype, test, and generally blast obstacles out of the way.  Some of my colleagues and managers were frightened of Perl - it was voodoo as far as they were concerned.  A manager who clearly didn't get it chided me for bringing this Unix thing into his cozy little Windows shop, "Why would you use this Perl thing when you have Visual Basic available to you?"  Yes, such a question can make one wince.  However, Perl got results, quickly, and Perl culture was a blast.I switched jobs, and found PowerShell had become the socially-acceptable scripting language for the Windows side, Python was the lingua franca for the Linux side, and Ruby was de rigeur for Chef for both sides.  Absent a role, my old friend faded from view.  Such is life in DevOps.As it turns out, my old friend is now even more muscular, and still quite the party animal.  However, this book shows that Perl has gotten some nice new features.To be quite clear - this is NOT a book to use to learn Perl.  Stick with the Llama book for that.  This book assumes that you are using it to get reacquainted, and it succeeds wonderfully at that.

    Great Way to Learn or Freshen Up on Perl
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2020*

This is a great book to learn Perl or to freshen up on Perl. Great style! Reads easily. Very up to date. I suggest this book along with a good modern reference on Perl. There are classics like "Learning Perl", "Programming Perl", "Intermediate Perl", "Perl Cookbook", "Perl Best Practices", "Mastering Perl", etc. This book is a manageable length, comprehensive enough to get you programming (again), but short enough to get you going. I am reading "Higher Order Perl", and I highly recommend it if you want to learn about functional programming in Perl.
