You can get a free ebook version of Mastering Perl through the O’Reilly Blogger Review program—just post a short (or long) review on your booksellers website or your own website.
If you like helping Perl authors, your review could mean a lot. People tend to buy books with reviews, so add yours to Amazon or wherever you buy books.
brian d foy’s writing style is light hearted but professional, opinionated but reasoned.

I’ve started reading the book yesterday, and I found it quite pleasant to read. This is the 2nd edition and I wonder why on page 7 and 8 the code has a double hashbang line at the beginning:
#!/usr/bin/perl
#!/usr/bin/perl
I does not harm, but it’s weird :-)
Thanks for the book, you did a great work. I think this is exactly what I need to read to improve my Perl skills.
