Perl 5 may have gotten more interesting lately, but is any of this is a beginners book?
The llama book is ubiquitous, you can find it anywhere, including used copies for a few bucks, second hand book stores, the cubicle next to yours, etc, and from what I've seen its been unchanged. What in this new version justifies all this fanfare?
- Mithaldu 15y agoIn a word: Modern Perl. In Perl there are many ways to do a thing, but not all of the ways are made equal. Some of the ways have been newly created since the last editions of this book came out, some of the ways have proven to be bad, others have stepped into the limelight and been proven as good, and yet others have become a lot more important in the past five years. This revision updates the contents of the book to take these changes into account.
