"Damian Conway's Perl Best Practices tutorial is actually a full day class (and could clearly have been considerably longer than that). I took only the morning session because there were too many good tutorials Tuesday afternoon, and frankly if I liked the morning session, I could always buy the book.
"As it happened, I picked up a copy of the book after signing up for OSCON tutorials, but before I flew to Portland. This meant that I had already had a chance to read through some of the material before coming to class, and mull over some of Damian's recommendations in greater depth than possible during the presentation itself..."
