in reply to Benchmarking with Memory Profiling

There is an O'Reilly book about algorithms with Perl, but I don't recall the name or animal (Update: It's a Wolf).

I found that the study of data structures and algorithms, early on, was the most valuable class in my programming career. Tinkering with it was key to understanding things like how a binary tree keeps things "in order", so I agree that a language you can tinker in is a plus.

    Perl in a nutshell (Camel head on cover) isn't about algorithms, and Mastering Algorithms (Wolf on cover) with Perl isn't a Nutshell :)

    The animal on the cover seems to be some kind of dog, wolf or jackal but I cannot tell which. It might even be Dr. Orwant himself, who sometimes goes under the name "Mad Dog."
