Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks,

I have to learn Perl for some scripting and automation stuff. I checked the Modern Perl book, but it seems to be written for an experienced folks. Is there a perl book that's recent enough so that I can use and good enough for a beginner? The somewhat latest one I see is "Learning Perl: Making Easy Things Easy and Hard Thing Possible". This is a 2016 edition. Is this good or are there more latest books available? Note - I will be starting with Perl 5.30 or 5.32.
