The idea that people should be more specific when talking about one of the most well-known (and used) programming languages on a site called Hacker News is simply odd to me.

In fairness, Programming Pearls is a fairly well known, well regarded book-

I guess I should point out why this is a big deal: the previous edition of the Camel book was published way back in 2000 for Perl 5.6, and there has obviously been a great amount of evolution of the language between then and the current v5.14.

As you can see from the link, hard copies should be available in a couple of weeks and can now be pre-ordered from O'Reilly and elsewhere.

The new edition covers all the new syntax (much of which was directly inspired by Perl 6), Unicode, regex changes and best practices, in addition to general updates and refinements.
