Learning Perl

Learning Perl

"Learning Perl", also known as the "llama book", is a tutorial book for the Perl programming language, and is published by O'Reilly. Authored solely by Randal L. Schwartz in its first edition, the fifth and current edition was written by Schwartz, Tom Phoenix, and Brian D Foy, and published in 2008, covering Perl version 5.10.

Unlike "Programming Perl", this book is aimed at computer programmers new to Perl. The publisher offers a free sample of the 4th Edition's Chapter Eleven [http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/learnperl4/chapter/ch11.pdf] as well as complete set of code examples presented in the (v4) book. [http://examples.oreilly.com/learnperl4/]

Schwartz selected the world of "The Flintstones" for the examples in this book, giving rise to the somewhat frequent use of "Fred" and "Barney" as metasyntactic variables, rather than the classic "foo" and "bar".

In 2003, Schwartz published a follow-up to the Llama, "Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules". It picks up where "Learning Perl" left off. In 2005, "Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules" was updated by Schwartz and Foy and re-titled "Intermediate Perl". "Mastering Perl", the third book in the trilogy and follow-up to "Intermediate Perl", was published in July 2007.
