Excellent reference for the serious Perl developer

This book truly lives up to it's title - this is a book for advanced developers who have a solid understanding of not only the Perl language but of higher level computer science concepts.

While there are some intermediate topics and short introductions, this is not a book to learn theory -- this is a book to show you how to take the theoretical concepts you've learned elsewhere and apply them to Perl, and to understand more of the internal workings of the language.
