I think I would like to see a couple of mid-level practical perl books more along the lines of
Data Munging With Perl. Maybe something like a
Perl Cookbook 2 I've been working with Perl for three or four years now and I think I've got the basics down but I still find that I spend a lot of time either reinventing the wheel or leafing through sites like PM searching for that one trick that solves the problem. How about
The Best of PerlMonks ... ?
This doesn't apply specifically to Perl but I would dearly love a book on object oriented programming that was useful. Something that gives the reader an idea of how to use OOP in everyday program life. The examples in most books I've read have been fine for getting the idea but too far removed from real life to help when trying to apply the principles.
Learning Perl Objects, References, and Modules (
merlyn) was good but a bit too technical for my level of experience.
