It's _different_. But working for a few years with Perl 5, it really grew on me. It could use a good "Perl: The Good Parts" book, I guess.
I haven't looked at Perl 6 yet, don't know if that's better or worse. Too many other things to do, and I don't think I'll ever work with Perl professionally again, that ship has probably sailed.
- abecedarius 9y agoHigher Order Perl might serve for that. (I haven't really read any other Perl books.)

- SwellJoe 9y agoPBP is very good, but pretty desperately needs an update. There might end up being a new version for Perl 6, but I doubt it will ever get one for Perl 5 and that's unfortunate. Several pretty big recommendations (particularly regarding OOP in Perl) from PBP aren't really regarded as having stood the test of time very well.
