[grand-rapids-pm-list] Higher Order Perl - Has anyone read it yet?

[Joe Wright]

Hi all.  I'm a new subscriber to the list; it's nice to see that Grand 
Rapids has a Perl group.

This morning I read The Perl Review's interview with Mark Jason Dominus 
(http://www.theperlreview.com/Interviews/mjd-hop-20050407.html?up) about 
his new book "Higher Order Perl" (http://perl.plover.com/hop).  Just the 
other day I was wishing that I could use Perl to do closures, and that 
turns out to be one of the things described in the book.  Has anyone 
read "Higher Order Perl" yet?  Is it worthwhile?  I'll probably ask my 
manager to expense it for me but wonder if anyone has a feel for it yet.

Thanks,

Joe
