Thanks!

> chromatic explains why Modern Perl is so short (see also the excellent reply by xdg):

Actually the second chapter in Object Oriented Perl (which xdg is dissing) includes a very good overview of (non-OO) Perl in 60+ pages.

Damian is a brilliant author and it's a good base for an experienced programmer. (Plus I have the German translation which makes communication easier)

Modern Perl then is larger and goes more into details and is already available in their office in Berlin.

This should give a very good foundation to build on.

Then later combined with my own self assessment quiz ° plus links into the docs, should clarify remaining issues.

(I don't want to start learning Python in deep for this :)
