Can confirm. I have just started to re-read a few chapters (about Regexes and Unicode) of "Programming Perl" (4th edition from 2012) and "Mastering Algorithms with Perl" from 1999, and these books are really a joy to read. Witty language, and just the right amount of complexity. Although the number of pages is high, these books were produced with incredible attention to detail.
