I'm in the process of reading this book and read almost first half of the book, this is the book I have been searching for 2 years.
I recommend this book after reading the books like, learning perl, intermediate perl.
This is book is following a wonderful tutorial-istic approach, a must read and a must have book in your(our) perl library.
UPDATE:
I have learned to use the typeglobs effectively after reading this book.
I am talking about the book authored by Sriram Srinivasan.
There are two totally different editions of this Book. You're sure you're talking about the same one? This thread's about the older one from Sriram Srinivasan!
