In addition, this guide demystifies once complex topics like object-relational mapping and event-based development-arming you with everything you need to completely upgrade your skills.

Praise for the Second Edition:

Sometimes the biggest hurdle to problem solving isn't the subject itself but rather the sheer number of modules Perl provides. Advanced Perl Programming walks you through Perl's TMTOWTDI (There's More Than One Way To Do It) forest, explaining and comparing the best modules for each task so you can intelligently apply them in a variety of situations. --Rocco Caputo, lead developer of POE

It has been said that sufficiently advanced Perl code is indistinguishable from magic. This book of spells goes a long way to unlocking those secrets. It has the power to transform the most humble programmer into a Perl wizard. --Andy Wardley

The information here isn't theoretical. It presents tools and techniques for solving real problems cleanly and elegantly. --Curtis 'Ovid' Poe

Advanced Perl Programming collects hard-earned knowledge from some of the best programmers in the Perl community, and explains it in a way that even novices can apply immediately. --chromatic, Editor of Perl.com
