Re: Perl Internals and Implementation

There is the Extending and Embedding Perl book (Manning), but I haven't read it, and don't think it covers actually dealing with Perl's source code.

And of course there is the Perl source code itself, which comes with every complete installation.

There is also the perl5porters@perl.org mailing list where a lurker is sure to learn a lot (see http://lists.perl.org for subscription info).

Excellent list. Further to that, there have been some useful nodes on perl internals posted here over the years. Two that spring to mind are: Hacking perl by robin Re: Perl closures: internal details.(Updated) by dave_the_m (see also the whole thread) If you are eager to learn about Perl internals, I would pay attention to anything posted here by dave_the_m.
