''Intermediate Perl'' is a follow-up to ''[[Learning Perl]]''. Just as ''Learning Perl'' features a [[llama]] on its cover, its follow-up features an [[alpaca]]. For this reason, they are sometimes referred to as, respectively, "the llama book" and "the alpaca 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 [[Perl module]]s and distributing them to [[CPAN]].

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.
