Yes, there are, but I mostly know of ones in print. The
O'Reilly Perl 5 book has a two good sections on efficiency
and coding style on pages 537-550. The O'Reilly Regular
expression book has a lot of information scattered in it
about what makes particular regular expressions fast or
slow. (In particular, do not use
$`,
$&,
or
$'.)
Naturally, the entire Perl Cookbook is a resource on how to
do particular tasks efficiently, and makes a good starting
point. Lastly, there is this
great site
about perl where you can search for all things perl related. If you
had a particular question, I'm sure you could find the answer there. :)
