This "book" is one magnitude more expensive than PBP and listed on top of "most popular" searches for Perl.

I wouldn't be surprised if many interviews in India are based on this...

  • "What's the answer for question 5.2 on page 194 of THE book?"

  • "Second edition, sir?"

And I wouldn't be surprised to recognize some FAQ from SOPW.

Would be interesting to have a look into this book, a review could be even nicer. :)

Tried googling yesterday without success...

    LOL, your post actually prompted me to search and I found this on amazon. There's even a review by brian_d_foy on that page.

      Thanks, like expected.... sadly!

      If I find a cheap copy of it, I might use it for a drinking game at next YAPC. ;)
