Holiday greetings from Apress! As you finish buying gifts for your loved
ones (and yourself), we wanted to let you know about two new books to add
to your wish list.

Randal Schwartz's Perls of Wisdom
By Randal Schwartz * 1-59059-323-5 * $34.99 * 360 pages
http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=307

You won't want to miss this collection of more than 70 columns from popular
and prolific Perl author and columnist Randal Schwartz. Divided into five
chapters, the book discusses advanced Perl programming, text searching and
editing, HTML and XML processing, CGI programming, and website management.
The original articles are reproduced in their entirety, along with
additional commentary by Schwartz. His unique writing style and (sometimes)
truly twisted use of Perl makes for exciting reading for those who want to
enhance their Perl skills.

Perl 6 Now: The Core Ideas Illustrated with Perl 5
By Scott Walters * 1-59059-395-2 * $39.99 * 424 pages
http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=355

Perl 6 generalizes the language, making it more extensible, eliminating
longstanding pitfalls, and adding new concepts. Many of these new features
work in Perl 5 and can be used in production-level code. Using the new
features of Perl 6, this book shows you how to write faster, cleaner
programs that are capable of solving difficult logic problems, and it also
shows you how to improve scalability and expressiveness. Filled with
extensive practical examples and in-depth coverage of Perl 6's new language
features, this book will help you get a leg up and discover the new
version's features and coding style in time for its release.
