Large Scale Programming in Perl

I actually proposed something like this to O'Reilly last year. It would have been an overview of current software engineering best practices and how they apply to Perl. There would have been chapters on extreme programming, refactoring, design patterns, testing and many other similar topics.

O'Reilly didn't think there was an audience for it (which is probably true as there doesn't seem to be much of an audience for many Perl books right now[1]). Maybe I should see if I can knock out a few samples chapters and submit them to perl.com as articles.

[1] If my royalty statements are anything to go by :)

    Yes, please! I'm sure we will be very glad to see something like that published on perl.com!

    Ciao, Valerio

    I second that, I would read those perl.com articles as well.
