=head1 NAME perlbook - Books about and related to Perl =head1 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 L<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.

I<Higher-Order Perl>: L<http://hop.perl.plover.com/> I<Modern Perl>: L<http://onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/> =head2 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: =over 4 =item I<Programming Pearls> by Jon Bentley ISBN 978-0-201-65788-3 [2 edition, October 1999] =item I<More Programming Pearls> by Jon Bentley ISBN 0-201-11889-0 [January 1988] =back =head2 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 L<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. =head2 Get your book listed If your Perl book isn't listed and you think it should be, let us know.
