Small samples of perl programs all over the book to solve particular problems.

I can always learn from any program example (you can get good Ideas to solve your own problems or maybe if you get lucky your problem solution is on the book) the good ones and the bad ones there is also a lot of information. If you are a novice or advance user you will be able to benefit from this book alike.

If you can only afford two perl books go for Programming Perl (Cammel Book ) and this one!.
