Almost every perl programmer will spout on and on about how great the Camel book is when in fact, as technical books go, it sucks. Witty, eccentric examples don't make a great book. The fact is no one wants to admit that the book sucks because they will be thought of as a fool. So they proudly trumpet from the mountain tops that nothing is better than the camel book all the while hoping no one notices that they don't understand a bit of it.

So, I will play the part of the small child in the story of "The Emperor's New Clothes" and say, "Hey wait a minute, the camel book sucks! It's about time someone else took a crack at this!"
