"Those of us who have met Peter Wainwright and Simon Cozens will know that there isn't much point in questioning their capabilities. There is a feeling of thoroughness and depth throughout that won't leave too many questions to ask of Perl people on the internet."
"...I'm happy to announce that I've come across a jewel. Professional Perl Programming, by Peter Wainwright et al, is a terrific book....Professional Perl Programming will help you expand your knowledge of everyday programming tasks? Its a book I wish I'd had for some of the programming that I've done over the last couple of years."

"[Professional Perl Programming] covers almost all aspects of the language and in some places even provides details about Perl's internal functions. This helps to understand the strength and the limitations of certain features. It helps to write more optimal code? Reading the book I learned some new details and had a lot of new ideas on how to make the Perl code I write better."
