I took a look around Amazon, and I'm almost certain that his recommendation was "Minimal Perl: For Unix and Linux People", by Tim Maher. I recall the title emphasizing least or another synonymous adjective (not including 'basic' or other frequently used terms for books geared towards beginners). Judging by user reviews, the book's scope seems in-line with what the interviewer described, but with a lot of emphasis on Perl one-liners. Debating whether I should order a copy, or just finally finish an O'Reilly book and force myself to write a script a day to stay familiar with the language. .
Thanks

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
