Modern Perl 2014 Edition 3 chromatic eBook
I had a hard time characterizing this wonderful book. It explains the fundamentals, but it's not an introductory book like Learning Perl. It covers almost every feature of the Perl 5 language, but it's not a reference book like Programming Perl. It explains common idioms, but it's not a guide to Perl 5 fluency like Effective Perl Programming. It contains many practical suggestions, but it's not a book of tips like Perl Hacks.I can only describe it as a "textbook". If I had to pick a single book to teach Perl 5, this is the one I'd choose. As I read it, I was reminded of the first time I read K&R (C Programming Language) and how much learning was packed into it. (It's the only college programming text I still have). In a slim 250 pages, Modern Perl obsoletes most of my shelf of Perl 5 books. It's not intended for a complete novice to programming (any more than K&R was), but in the hands of a competent programmer or a diligent student it will teach everything that one needs to know to write Perl 5 well.
What I especially like about Modern Perl is that it puts particular emphasis on understanding fundamental Perl 5 concepts like "context" and "scope". From these and other foundations, one can understand why certain programming idioms have emerged and one can avoid surprises in the odder corners of the language. If you want a book to spoon feed cut-and-paste code to you, this is not the book for you. If you want a book that will teach you to write your own code confidently, this is an excellent resource.
If you already know some programming and want to learn Perl 5, then Modern Perl is the book you should get. If you already know Perl 5, but don't think you know it well, or if you haven't kept up in developments in Perl 5 since the late 1990's, then Modern Perl will get you up to speed.

Modern Perl 2014 Edition 3 chromatic eBook Reviews
Mostly excellent advice on how to write programs in Perl in the 'modern way.
chromatic knows his stuff and writes well. But most of all he describes difficult concepts clearly. This is a must have book for the modern perl programmer.
I'm just starting to work in Perl after working in PHP (mostly with Drupal and WordPress) for 3 years. This book offers a fantastic introduction to a language that has a lot of history and culture supporting it. The writing style makes me feel like I'm sitting in a peer session with the author, and is very easy to digest. Make sure you follow along with the instructions, there's something special about actually typing along with an author vs trying to just read and remember. Get that muscle memory down )
Thanks for writing such a fantastic book!
If you can already program, this book is an incredible way to pick up modern perl. It's something you might not be aware of when you first approach the language, but there's a ton of material out there that teaches "the old (less than ideal) way." This book will save you from that.
I teach Perl at a community college and plan to start using this book for the upcoming term. It teaches modern techniques; but is still adequate for a beginner. It also covers several more advanced topics (like MOOSE), so will make a valuable addition to a student's library. Best of all, the price is right (especially for college students who are used to paying over $100 for a book).
This book was enjoyable, informative, and it reacquainted me with my old friend Perl.
Perl and I used to have so much fun together. Back in the day (2000-2010), Perl was my right hand man. I used C/C++ and SQL to write project code, and Perl to analyze, automate, simulate, emulate, innovate, prototype, test, and generally blast obstacles out of the way. Some of my colleagues and managers were frightened of Perl - it was voodoo as far as they were concerned. A manager who clearly didn't get it chided me for bringing this Unix thing into his cozy little Windows shop, "Why would you use this Perl thing when you have Visual Basic available to you?" Yes, such a question can make one wince. However, Perl got results, quickly, and Perl culture was a blast.
I switched jobs, and found PowerShell had become the socially-acceptable scripting language for the Windows side, Python was the lingua franca for the Linux side, and Ruby was de rigeur for Chef for both sides. Absent a role, my old friend faded from view. Such is life in DevOps.
As it turns out, my old friend is now even more muscular, and still quite the party animal. However, this book shows that Perl has gotten some nice new features.
To be quite clear - this is NOT a book to use to learn Perl. Stick with the Llama book for that. This book assumes that you are using it to get reacquainted, and it succeeds wonderfully at that.
I was pleasantly surprised by "Modern Perl". The basic premise is here we are in 2011 (well, now 2012), with lots of powerful Perl 5.16 core (and CPAN) modules at our disposal. Let's actually _use_ them to write robust, consistent Perl programs.
There's significant coverage of Moose (for doing OOP in an arguably superior way), all manner of popular and useful idioms, and a rather thorough exposition of Perl language features, shortcomings, and gotchas.
In my opinion, this is not a book for beginners. The reader should already have a rudimentary grasp of Perl, and at least a small bit of experience working with it.
All in all, beautifully done content. But please enlist an editor to review the edition, guys. Too many unnecessary typos. And it looks like footnotes did not get rendered properly as footnotes, instead appearing inline with the content they're supposed to annotate. Annoying.
