[Boulder.pm] Roll call?

[Kate]

If you're looking for something that explores the farther edges of what Perl can do in a more algorithmic / CS direction, I highly recommend the wonderful (and wonderfully weird) "Higher Order Perl".  It's now free on the author's site (you can donate if you want).

http://hop.perl.plover.com/book/

Once you get past some of the examples in there, I'd recommend Effective Perl Programming (http://www.effectiveperlprogramming.com/) to learn more about modern day, idiomatic Perl.

I really like that it gave multiple solutions to just about everything and explained their tradeoffs & how they worked. It encourages copy & paste programming a lot less than just googling code snippets and gave me a much better idea of idiomatic Perl.
