* Praise for "Perl Best Practices from Perl community members

"As a manager of a large Perl project, I'd ensure that every member of my team has a copy of "Perl Best Practices on their desk, and use it as the basis for an in-house style guide."
-- Randal Schwartz

"There are no more excuses for writing bad Perl programs. All levels of Perl programmer will be more productive after reading this book."
-- Peter Scott

""Perl Best Practices will be the next big important book in the evolution of Perl. The ideas and practices Damian lays down will help bring Perl out from under the embarrassing heading of "scripting languages." Many of us have known Perl is a real programming language, worthy of all the tasks normally delegated to Java and C++. With Perl Best Practices, Damian shows specifically how and why, so everyone else can see, too."
-- Andy Lester

"Damian's done what many thought impossible: show how to build large, maintainable Perl applications, while still letting Perl be the powerful, expressive language that programmers have loved for years."
-- Bill Odom

"Finally, a means to bring lasting order to the process and product of real Perl development teams."
-- Andrew Sundstrom

""PerlBest Practices provides a valuable education in how to write robust, maintainable Perl, and is a definitive citation source when coaching other programmers."
-- Bennett Todd

"I've been teaching Perl for years, and find the same question keeps being asked: Where can I find a reference for writing reusable, maintainable Perl code? Finally I have a decent answer."
-- Paul Fenwick

"At last a well researched, well thought-out, comprehensive guide to Perl style. Instead of each of us developing our own, we can learn good practices from one of Perl's most prolific and experienced authors. I recommend this book to anyone who prefers getting on with the job rather than going back and fixing errors caused by syntax and poor style issues."
-- Jacinta Richardson

"If you care about programming in any language read this book. Even if you don't intend to follow all of the practices, thinking through your style will improve it."
-- Steven Lembark

"The Perl community's best author is back with another outstanding book. There has never been a comprehensive reference on high quality Perl coding and style until "Perl Best Practices. This book fills a large gap in every Perl bookshelf."
-- Uri Guttman
