SPUG: self-study recommendations?

[Ivan Heffner]

I'm not immediately familiar with _Intermediate Perl_ or _Modern Perl_,
several years back, I picked up _Perl Objects, Modules, & References_ <
http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596004781.do> and would recommend it as
a next step after _Learning Perl_.
