'''''Programming Perl''''', best known as the '''Camel Book''' among [[programmer]]s,<ref name="Hughes">{{cite web|url=https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/1366|title=Programming Perl|last=Hughes|first=Phil|publisher=[[Linux Journal]]|date=1 March 1997|access-date=12 March 2021}}</ref> is a book about writing programs using the [[Perl]] [[programming language]], revised as several editions (1991–2012) to reflect major language changes since Perl version 4. Editions have been co-written by the creator of Perl, [[Larry Wall]], along with [[Randal L. Schwartz]], then [[Tom Christiansen]] and then Jon Orwant. Published by [[O'Reilly Media]], the book is considered the canonical reference work for Perl programmers. With over 1,000 pages, the various editions contain complete descriptions of each Perl language version and its [[Interpreter (computing)|interpreter]]. Examples range from trivial [[Snippet (programming)|code snippets]] to the highly complex [[Expression (computer science)|expressions]] for which Perl is widely known. The camel book editions are also noted for being written in an approachable and humorous style.
