Higher-Order Perl: http://hop.perl.plover.com/ Writing Perl Modules for CPAN: http://www.apress.com/resource/freeebook/9781590590188 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: Programming Pearls by Jon Bentley ISBN 978-0-201-65788-3 [2 edition, October 1999] More Programming Pearls by Jon Bentley ISBN 0-201-11889-0 [January 1988] 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. Get your book listed If your Perl book isn't listed and you think it should be, let us know. perl v5.14.2 2011-09-26 PERLBOOK(1)
