I wasn't sure whether to mark this as a review of the book or of the site. ;-)


Great book, nice review

Wolf is a wonderful refresher for those of us a few years out of CS classes. Perl is *wonder* at expressing algorithms, since the language provides so many high level constructs. In some cases (like sorting), you may wonder "why to people bother?".

Anyway, every serious Perl programmer ought to have this on their bookshelves.

And it is a wonderful "refresher" for those of us who have never really studied any of this stuff before ...
