Summary: finally!!
Comment: This is the fourth, and probably last, general-purpose Perl book I'll own. Learning Perl makes a fine tutorial, but it misses the advanced topics and extensive libraries. The pocket reference is too concise for anything but the very basic standard functions. And Programming Perl is too sprawling for a good quick reference yet still too small to delve into the complex topics well.
Perl in a Nutshell does for Perl what the excellent Java in a Nutshell did for Java. It lets me find what I'm looking for right away so I spend less time with my nose in a book and more time getting my programs working.
What more could one hope for in a reference book?

Summary: A handy reference, but...
Comment: This is a handy reference, but if you have a limited budget you should probably go with Programming Perl and the Perl Cookbook before this one. This is a fine reference but it doesn't have the depth that the other books have and the information on the modules is available online through CPAN. I have the entire Perl library on my bookshelf and I hardly ever pick this one up.

Summary: Great reference!
Comment: I am not a beginning programmer nor am I what you would call an expert. Having a background in PHP made Perl easy to learn, so I didn't need a book that would "teach" Perl. All I needed was a good reference to figure out the differences between PHP and Perl. This book did exactly that! I was able to start programming within a day and I have referenced this book more times than I can count during my most recent development efforts. The binding is nearly worn out! I recommend this book to intermediate programmers that only need a small boost to get to work. If you're a beginner, buy this book to use after you learn the basics and you'll find it to be one of the most valuable tools on your desk!
