It is a great second book to beginning perl for bioinformatics. I have only scanned the parts that were interesting to me, but I found mostly what I was looking for. This book goes into practical applications like perl/mysql. perl/web and perl/bioperl and it spends quite a bit of time on object oriented perl. There are very few books out there that explore all these topics. (If Oreilly is reading this. I would like the solution to exercise 7.7 pg 270 chapter 7.) An object oriented database using perl on the web is a personal goal of mine. Also, Oreilly should put up the answers to all the excercises, just like in beginning perl. They were very helpful in learning the material.
