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]].

''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".

<!-- For this book, rather than using [[Fred Flintstone|Fred]] and [[Barney Rubble|Barney]] as [[metasyntactic variable]]s again, Schwartz decided to make use of the characters from [[Gilligan's Island]]. /> -->

In March 2006 a second edition of this book was published under the new title '''Intermediate Perl''' (ISBN 0596102062).

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]].
