in reply to passing subroutine references

Great book. I bought it earlier in the year. It really takes Perl to a whole new level. You can download it from his own site http://hop.perl.plover.com/book/

Which is what I did at first, before giving up and buying from Amazon (which is presumably the intention of posting a free download)

Happy reading

Regards

    I wholeheartedly agree; great book. I, too, bought from Amazon but I bought the book before I knew it was on-line.

    However, as Steve BZ notes, the on-line version is not a good substitute for the hardcopy when you're just reading it. I was glad I had the hardcopy.

    But the on-line version is a *great* reference in my opinion. I use it a lot as I go back and rework and rework and review and try to digest all of the nuances in that book.

    I have been periodically going back to that book every several months to review and better understand different parts of it. I find the on-line version very useful and accesible in those short but deep dives into a piece of the work.

    Of course, YMMV.
