……一步一步的指导。所以这些书更像是一份如何编写实现指南或 Runbook 的参考，而不是教你怎么描述 API 或展示架构文档。我还非常喜欢《Mastering Algorithms With Perl》，以及任何关于技术主题的“傻瓜书”（For Dummies 系列）。
…step by step instruction. So these are more a reference of how to write an implementation guide or Runbook, rather than how to describe an API or present architectural documents. I also really liked Mastering Algorithms With Perl, and any of the For Dummies books on technical subjects.
……不过要想压榨出高级语言的“全部潜能”确实很难。我原以为这东西的全部意义就在于抽象掉机器层面的优化？举个例子，为了学习写出更高效的 Perl，我翻了《Mastering Algorithms with Perl》，里面有大量超有用的技巧。
…to get "all the juice" out of higher level languages, though. I thought the whole point was to abstract away from machine optimization? For example, to learn to write more efficient Perl I picked up "Mastering Algorithms with Perl" and it had loads of helpful tips.
Can confirm. I have just started to re-read a few chapters (about Regexes and Unicode) of "Programming Perl" (4th edition from 2012) and "Mastering Algorithms with Perl" from 1999, and these books are really a joy to read. Witty language, and just the right amount of complexity. Although the number of pages is high, these books were produced with incredible attention…
……直接动手做就行，遇到问题就去网上搜或者翻书。提示：CPAN（http:://search.cpan.org）上已经有一大堆现成的东西了。我还发现《Perl Cookbook》和《Mastering Algorithms with Perl》多少有些用处。不过，它们的大部分内容现在都能在网上零零散散地搜到，所以针对具体问题直接搜索往往就够了。如果你还不知道这个网站，可以去逛逛 http://perlmonks.org/。
…just jump in and search the web or look in the book when you run into problems. Note: tons of stuff has already been done for you at CPAN: http:://search.cpan.org I've also found the Perl Cookbook and Mastering Algorithms with Perl somewhat useful. However, much of their content is now in bits and pieces on the Web, and so searching for your specific problem often is enough. If you don't know the site already, check out http://perlmonks.org/.
…written in Perl which added even more power to them. The book was part of O'Reilly's Perl bookshelf so in addition to Friedl's book I bought the other Perl classics - "Programming Perl", "Perl Cookbook", "Mastering Algorithms with Perl" and "Learning Perl". With CPAN downloaded to my local disk I felt like a hitch-hiker setting out on a journey around the world needing nothing more than Perl in my backpack. Those were the days. Now…

如果你懂 Perl，我强烈推荐《Mastering Algorithms With Perl》——全是代码，几乎没什么符号 :)
If you know perl, I highly recommend Mastering Algorithms With Perl - all code and barely any symbols :)

确实如此。我刚开始重读《Programming Perl》（2012 年第 4 版）和 1999 年的《Mastering Algorithms with Perl》里的几个章节（关于 Regex 和 Unicode），这些书读起来真是一种享受。语言风趣幽默，复杂度也拿捏得恰到好处。虽然页数很多，但这些书制作得极其用心……

……是用 Perl 写的，这让它们的功能更加强大。这本书属于 O'Reilly 的 Perl 书系，所以除了 Friedl 的书，我还买了其他 Perl 经典——《Programming Perl》《Perl Cookbook》《Mastering Algorithms with Perl》和《Learning Perl》。把 CPAN 下载到本地硬盘后，我感觉自己就像个背包客踏上了环球之旅，背包里除了 Perl 啥都不需要。那真是一段美好的岁月啊。现在……
