Based on the Addison-Wesley material, particularly the TOC, it looks like
exactly what it purports to be - an itemized discussion of pitfalls and
Perl oddities that a programmer who's been using Perl for a few months is
going to be just about ready to absorb.

At a list of $32.95 I don't know as how I wouldn't just get the Cookbook.
It looks to me like EFFECTIVE PERL PROGRAMMING has a very limited zone of
usefulness for the typical Perl programmer. Not to knock the authors, but
with the other books that are already out I think the need for this one is
feeble.
