perlbook - Books about and related to Perl
DESCRIPTION
There are many books on Perl and Perl-related. A few of these are good, some are OK, but many aren't worth your money. There is a list of
these books, some with extensive reviews, at http://books.perl.org/ . We list some of the books here, and while listing a book implies our
endorsement, don't think that not including a book means anything.
Most of these books are available online through Safari Books Online ( http://safaribooksonline.com/ ).
The most popular books
The major reference book on Perl, written by the creator of Perl, is Programming Perl:

Other interesting, non-Perl books
You might notice several familiar Perl concepts in this collection of ACM columns from Jon Bentley. The similarity to the title of the
major Perl book (which came later) is not completely accidental:

More Programming Pearls

A note on freshness
Each version of Perl comes with the documentation that was current at the time of release. This poses a problem for content such as book
lists. There are probably very nice books published after this list was included in your Perl release, and you can check the latest
released version at http://perldoc.perl.org/perlbook.html .
Some of the books we've listed appear almost ancient in internet scale, but we've included those books because they still describe the
current way of doing things. Not everything in Perl changes every day. Many of the beginner-level books, too, go over basic features and
techniques that are still valid today. In general though, we try to limit this list to books published in the past five years.

If your Perl book isn't listed and you think it should be, let us know.
