chromatic just put letter and A4 sized PDFs of Modern Perl: the Book online. This is the new edition, updated for 5.14 and 2011-2012. As usual, these electronic versions are free to download. Please do. Please share them with friends, family, colleagues, coworkers, and interested people.
Looks like a good book, and it's free for download.
