Title: Too plain to be "advanced"
Review: This is probably one of the poorer books in my O'Reilly collection. While all the other books I own from them seem to cover all basis of a particular topic, from concept to implementation to futher reading, this book provides only a brieft introduction with small and impratical examples, often filled with errors. It seems like the author simply saw a market for this book and wrote it fast fast as possible. If you have no clue as to some of the advanced features available for PERL, this one is for you. If you want truely useful references, try the perl website.
