Great timing -- I just saw this book for the first time on Sunday and 
picked it up immediately, because I'm about to plunge into cleaning up 
a huge old unwieldy CGI program sorely in need of revision; it was 
written four years ago by somebody else, i.e. by the four-years-ago me. 
Looks like just the ticket. 

I haven't gotten too far into the book, but I second George's positive 
review; just from some browsing around in it I've already got a list 
bristling with things to try.

BTW I entirely agree with George that Hall & Schwartz, _Effective Perl 
programming_, is anything but an "introduction" to Perl, but I would 
still press it into the hands of anyone who's just past the first 
humps, because it is a fantastic horizon-opener even relatively early 
in the game.
