I didn't like the storyline, but I did learn how to handle anonymous arrays better.

For Perl programmers looking to make more of the language than just scripting this is the ideal 'step up' book. Object Oriented features of Perl are covered well. Writing and publishing CPAN modules is also covered, as are unit testing concepts.
If you want to expand your Perl world view this is an ideal second book to go along with the classic Programming Perl.

This book has good perl examples and good perl code. It is a good choice if you have an intermediate understanding of the perl language.

This is a great reference book for Perl. Combine this with the Perl Cookbook and you have your tools to tackle your Perl coding tasks. Great book.

Successors are not always as expected. In this case you do get from this trio of authors, who are classics in their own right, just what you expect. In my own case, I needed to get good at OO Perl and fast. In three days, I covered the major chapters thoroughly, went off to my interview and in the end was told, "hey, you really know your stuff". This book intends and does indeed follow well the Learning Perl classic. If you finished the meat of the classic, this is the dessert. You'll recognize the writing style and flavour. There are no surprises. In my opinion, another classic.
