    Of the three books reviewed, only the Cookbook I would call essential IMO.

    "Perl 6 Essentials" is really about vaporware (and absolutely confusing to people trying to learn Perl, I guess), while "Perl Template Toolkit" deals with stuff outside the core language and libraries.

      Funny; I have Parrot and Perl 6 installed on multiple machines.
