Summary: Great reference
Comment: Loved the book! Amazed at a couple of the other reviews here, especially those talking about an index. The book itself is an index - each entry alphabetically listed and includes "See Also" sections to point you to related syntax. Has good cross reference section too. Not a book for those wanting to learn Perl, but definitely a good and pure reference.

Rating: 1
Summary: no index, no concept discussion, incomplete specification
Comment: That was enough to convince me to return it

Rating: 4
Summary: Good reference but could be better
Comment: The commands and things are in order as you would expect in a reference book but it has no index. Every non-fiction book, except a dictionary, should have a good index. I'm also disappointed by missing items, like =~.
