still a gem

I have owned this book for almost ten years. I haven't been using Perl much for the last few years, but I have recently been inspired to use it for a couple of projects. I pulled out my old Camel to give myself a refresher... I had forgotten what a great book this is. It is a surprisingly enjoyable read, and presents the information in a very understandable way. Anyone who does anything with Perl, or administers a system with Perl on it, should do themselves a favor and get this book. I wish I had a book of this quality for every language I use.
