***Learning Perl, 4th Edition
Publisher: O'Reilly
ISBN: 0596101058
Informed by their years of success at teaching Perl as consultants, the
authors have re-engineered the Llama to better match the pace and scope
appropriate for readers getting started with Perl, while retaining the
detailed discussion and eclectic wit for which the Llama is famous. This
latest edition has been updated to account for all the recent changes to
the language up to Perl 5.8.

***Porting Test::Builder to Perl 6
With Pugs and Parrot playing nicely and bringing Perl 6 to the rest of
us, enterprising early adopters are experimenting with porting their
popular Perl 5 modules to Perl 6. O'Reilly editor chromatic recently
pushed the limits of Pugs by porting Test::Builder to Perl 6. Here's
what he learned about Perl 6, Pugs, and his design along the way.
chromatic is the coauthor of "Perl Testing: A Developer's Notebook."
