This has to be the best book I have ever read on perl, along with Programming Perl (also from O'reilly). Ever since I bought this book I have not been able to put it down. It starts off with an excellent tutorial introducing some of the main uses of perl, before moving on to a more in depth discussion of each subject.
I never pick this book up without learning something new and end up rushing to my computer to try out the new piece of magic that I have just learned.
I will be using this book for a long time. O'reilly books tend to be either good, or very good, however this book sets a new standard with the way it makes learning perl easy and also fun.
Without this gem I would still be coding in C (heaven forbid) and shouting at my computer on a regular basis.
This would be great for students as well as old hacks like myself.
