Object Oriented Perl: Jon Wilks
Extract: From the release of version 5 onwards, it has been possible to write Perl code in an Object Oriented idiom. Sadly, the way to do this in Perl has not been well explained until now, especially if object oriented programming is new to you. Damian Conway's book does an excellent job in pointing the way. Concepts such as inheritance and polymorphism are dealt with in an easily digestible way, often with a touch of humour.

I probably did not read this book as attentively as Mark-Jason Dominus, since he was preparing to write a review. I would have to say, though that I think quite highly of Higher Order Perl by Dominus himself ("higher order" seems to be slang for functional programming.) Worth every penny.
