Title: More Interesting Than Useful
Product review: This is one of those academic texts over which programming fetishists salivate. Those of us that program for a living won't find this book very useful. There are some interesting algorithmic niches explored for procedural programmers that one in a million may find useful. But truly Higher Order Perl isn't about functional algorithms, it's about object modelling. For instance, why discuss the primitive concept of callbacks, when Object Oriented Programming is possible?
