Title: Sorry O'Reilly, this is not in Nutshell class
Review: I think this book is weak both as a language reference and as a source of tutorial examples. The description of the language itself is accurate enough but tends to only state the obvious, rarely showing those clever ways to do things which illuminates what Perl is so capable of. I think Programming Perl defines the language and how to use it well more thoroughly and includes far more clever and illuminating code snippets. Learning Perl is the perfect starting tutorial for those new to Perl.75% of this book (pages 165-619) is just a list of the more popular modules available from CPAN and each of their methods. I would only recommend this book if you wanted this in printed and bound form.
