Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

The second edition of the Camel Book is more than 600 pages long and full of excellent instruction and sound advice. Topics include all the good stuff from the first edition plus Perl 5 features such as nested data structures (ever made a hash of arrays of hashes?), modules, and objects. From "Howdy World" to making your own modules, this book has it all.


Laurance, linuxdot.org, Oct 2001

Put simply; this book made me a better Perl coder, and is always by my side, waiting to be referred to for the umteenth time. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Perl programming bible, Jul 6 2004
This review is from: Programming Perl (Paperback)
This is the Perl programming bible. It's all in here. However there is a caveat, it's a bible so it has some religion in it. The style is somewhat ambling at times and occasionally obtuse. So if you are trying to learn Perl from scratch, read the aptly named "Learning Perl" book first (as I did). This book will then serve as an excellent guide to the more advanced features and and a reference.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this book, Mar 15 2001
By David Ehrens (Dartmouth, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Programming Perl (Paperback)
This is a book that quickly starts out with a convoluted discussion of the "splice" function, comparing its workings with those of pop, shift, unshift, etc. The author then tells us after all the agony of trying to follow him to forget it -- you'll never use it. The examples fail badly because he's never bothered to explain pop, shift, or any of the other material he slings at us. And so it goes, in this book about a frightfully haphazard language written by the same mind that created the language. Don't buy this book. You'd be better off trying to re-read your college physics text while drunk. There are some excellent WWW tutorials; I ended up relying on them.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent reference., Sep 29 2008
By Leonardo Custodio "KRG" (Ontario, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Programming Perl (Paperback)
Without question, this book explains Perl from the inside out, covering all grounds. Programmers can rely on this book for their in-depth knowledge, and have it as a reference.

2.0 out of 5 stars The author talks too much

This isn't the book for a first-time programmer. Outside of that, it's a great reference. Maybe the more advanced language features need more clarification, but it's plenty to get... Read more

Programming Perl is a great reference book for Perl which is something one would expect considering it comes from the creator of perl himself! Read more
