After being productive in Perl, this book brought some much needed finesse to my work. My code is now cleaner, easier to understand, and less error prone.
The book is very well written, succinct
, and obviously written by someone with a sharp mind and the English skills to communicate his knowledge and opinions.

Good book that's full of useful advice and tips. It's a great starting point for a company-wide Perl coding standard, but not all of its advice it going to fit. Some doesn't even make a lot of sense or just doesn't look right. Multi-line ternary operations, anyone?
Other than coding standards though, the book is a gem for presenting some neat tricks hidden in plain view within the language. These tips are generally situational, but can be very helpful and are always presented in clean, well-structured code.
