PERLBOOK(1)            Perl Programmers Reference Guide            PERLBOOK(1)

NAME
       perlbook - Books about and related to Perl
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 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.
       Most of these books are available online through Safari Books Online (
       http://safaribooksonline.com/ ).
   The most popular books
       The major reference book on Perl, written by the creator of Perl, is

       book, which assumes that you already know a little about programming:

   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:
       Programming Pearls
                   by Jon Bentley
                   ISBN 978-0-201-65788-3 [2 edition, October 1999]
       More Programming Pearls

   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 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.
