I have now looked extensively through both the 3rd edition book and the 4th edition book.The 4th edition has more up-to-date information about deprecated features, unicode support changes, more backslash escapes, better coverage of recursion, and more details about using CPAN.I can find no reason to prefer the 3rd edition over the 4th edition. For context, this 3rd edition book was published in 2000, while the newest edition was published in 2012. Buy the newest edition you can. Skip this ancient manual and buy the newer, 4th edition. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An indespensible book for die-hard perl programmers *by D***M on Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2001* If you are a programmer, with an extensive background in programming theory, and a passion for Perl, this book is for you. This book, written by the creator of Perl, contains more details about Perl than one could possibly find in any other book. This book doens't hold back in discussing perl topics, but rather it discusses them inside and out without excluding anything. For someone who has a thorough foundation in Perl, this is definitely the next step in exploring Perl.If you are a casual programmer though, I must caution you that this book is pretty intense reading. I found it helps to read this book while reading the "Perl Cookbook". The chapters for each book correlate to each other. This book explains how everything works, while the Cookbook shows you how to apply these concepts in real life situations.One complaint I had about this book were the unclear examples. Other books by O'Reilly such as "Learning Perl" and "Perl Cookbook" will label each line of code in their examples so that there is no ambiguity. However the example scripts in this book are sparsely labled, so it is not always clear what the author's intent is.However, if you feel up to the challenge, I would definitely recommend this book. After reading this book, your understanding of Perl will improve dramatically. In addition, the last few chapters will provide a very useful reference regarding Perl's many modules, functions and such. For serious programmers, you will thank yourself for buying this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Watchout for the the Regular Expressions chapter though -- it seems like it goes forever *by E***O on Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2015* Warning! This book is very informative! They weren't lying, I am in the Threads chapter of this book now, and though dates, it gives me the historical mindset of the late 90's with detailed information about every fundamental aspect of Perl -- this book goes deep... Watchout for the the Regular Expressions chapter though -- it seems like it goes forever, but in the end, it's rewarding to type out a Perl example with a RegEx and have a better understanding on what's going on... I'm going to read the more current versions of this book later --- it's worth the struggle... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/46490743-programming-perl-3rd-edition](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/46490743-programming-perl-3rd-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
