'''''Intermediate Perl''''' is a book about the [[Perl|Perl programming language]] by [[Randal L. Schwartz]], [[brian d foy]] and Tom Phoenix, published in 2006 by [[O'Reilly Media]]. It was released as a retitled second edition of ''Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules'' ({{ISBN|0-596-00478-8}}) by Schwartz and Phoenix, published by O'Reilly Media in 2003 to favorable reviews.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://drdobbs.com/web-development/184416041|title=Learning Perl Objects, References, & Modules|publisher=[[Dr. Dobb's Journal|The Perl Journal]]|date=August 2003}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/03/08/01/0619259/Learning-Perl-Objects-References-amp-Modules|title=Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules|publisher=[[Slashdot]]|date=August 2003}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7431|title=February Mini Book Reviews - Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules|publisher=[[Linux Journal]]|date=1 March 2004}}</ref> A second edition of ''Intermediate Perl'' was released in 2012.

This book is written in very much the same style as its predecessor. It picks up right where Learning Perl left off, and takes the reader from the most basic features of Perl references all the way through to creating [[perl module]]s and distributing them to [[CPAN]].

'''''LearningIntermediate Perl Objects, References & Modules''''', published in 2003 by [[O'Reilly Media|O'Reilly]] (ISBN 0-596-00478-8), is a follow-up to the highly popular ''[[Learning Perl]]'' book by [[Randal L.

For this reason, they are sometimes referred to as, respectively, "the Llamallama book" and '''"the Alpacaalpaca book"'''.

For this book, rather than using [[Fred Flintstone|Fred]] and [[Barney Rubble|Barney]] as [[metasyntactic variable]]s again, Schwartz used the names of characters from [[Gilligan's Island]], a theme originally used by [[Joseph N. Hall]] in the training material he developed for Schwartz while working with Stonehenge Consulting. Those materials formed the basis for the book.

This book is written in very much the same style as its predecessor. It picks up right where ''Learning Perl'' left off, and takes the reader from the most basic features of Perl references all the way through to creating [[perlPerl module]]s and distributing them to [[CPAN]].

In March 2006 a second edition of this book was published under the new title '''Intermediate Perl''' (ISBN 0-596-10206-2).
