All the Perl that's Practical to Extract and Report

Bargain Perl6 and Parrot Essentials

Not content with having "Higher Order Perl", and a highly recommended "Domain Driven Design" by Evans on my book shelf in a to read state ( together with GOFs "Design Patterns" which requires work ), I have just recieved my copy of "Perl 6 and Parrot essentials" from Price Cut Books ltd via amazon.co.uk for £4.09 which I consider to be a bargain. Whether I get time to read it before perl 6 is production ready and the equivalent of camel is out I don't know.

Don't worry ...

both Parrot and Perl 6 will be different from what you've read in that book anyway by the time Perl 6 actually comes out. In fact, they're already different :-)

But the conceptual center is largely the same, so reading through that book will get you started in the right direction.
