''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]].
