Summary: Excellent Book
Comment: Advanced Perl Programming definitely changed the way I code perl. I would say that by reading it and executing the concepts contained within my productivity has gone up ten fold. I currently own 11 books dealing with perl and I still refer to this one most often. If you learned the ideas presented in Learning Perl and perused Programming Perl this book is a very valid next step. Some of the complaints about this book presented in other reviews are real however as I said before...this is the book I reach for most often. If you write perl this book should be in your reference collection. It deals with varied topics and Sriram does a fairly good job of linking them together. Although other books have dealt with one topic better (such as Mastering Regular Expressions), none I have read increased my productivity as much. For those new to perl, look elsewhere to pick up on the basics.

Summary: Strange, strange book...
Comment: I am unable to categorize this book. As the title says, this is about advanced Perl programming, but chapter 1-9 really belongs in "Programming Perl" (but are totally missing from it), and should really not be considered advanced (on the other hand, quite elementary, but since they appear nowhere else, you should probably consider this book a must read, if you are serious about Perl).
The rest of the book is pretty random, covering various topics the author thought was neat, and wanted to write about. This is ranging from trivial use of CPAN libraries (Tk), to trivial Perl but involving knowledge from other disciplines (networking), to actual useful advanced Perl programming (persistence, template-driven code-generation, and the C programming interface). This part of the book is also highly recommended (and in fact the reason I bought it), but should have been much longer.

Summary: Best way to learn references
Comment: This is one of the four critical books you need to learn Perl; Programming Perl, Learning Perl, Perl Cookbook and Advanced Perl Programming. This book provides a deep understanding of how references (pointers) can be used to increase performance. In addition the book gives you a deeper understanding about how to make better use of hash tables as data structures. The section on code generation using templates is great as well.
