  “Read this to review Perl, since it's been 10 years since I'd written any. Don't skip the footnotes, especially if you are an old school UNIX/C programmer, lots of in-jokes to be found there. Great introduction to the language too, at least for those coming from a C or C++ background.”

  “If your system run any Perl, or they will be, you need this book. More than a primer this is a handy tool for the seasoned Perl user as well.
  
  This book has helped make short work of several projects I have done, that without the book would have had me spinning my wheels for a while longer. ”

  “This book rocks. It gets you right up to speed with Perl, it has exercises so you can't fool yourself, and it's very thoughtfully organized. If Perl is the right language for the job (in my case that means the job is not a bunch of matrix calculations, PDL or no) then this is the book to start with.”

  “Every systems administrator I know has this book on their shelf. Perl is a beautiful, wonderful, lazy (or not lazy), and practical programming language that I use constantly.”
