note alexm It took me a while to read the book because I did it in tiny bits of 1 or 2 tips a day, but it was really insightful and fun. I don't like some tips and love many others, but the whole set is consistent and [TheDamian] makes his point clear. <p> In fact, I haven't been programming in Perl for a few years (I've been making lots of Perl scripts and fixes on existing Perl code as part of my sysadmin job, though). However, as I was discovering things like insideout objects and modules like [mod://Class::Std], I felt I needed to spend more time with Perl related stuff again (as in my old days of CPAN Testers), specially OO programming and testing. <p> By the way, don't forget to give a try to [dist://Perl-Critic], which implements many of the book guidelines. There's also an <a href="http://www.perlcritic.org/">online version</a>. 477093 477093
