The new Catalyst book from Packt Publishing

Some weeks ago I got a copy of the new Catalyst book from Packt Publishing on the popular MVC web framework for Perl. The new book covers the 5.8 release of Catalyst, which is based on Moose. The book also includes some chapters on Modern Perl topics, namely Moose and DBIx::Class.

I was planning to review the book, but it became quite obvious after a short time that I would not be able to read it thoroughly any time soon (I already have too many other books on my reading list).

If you were wondering whether or not to buy it yourself, they have a sample chapter (PDF) available that can help you make up your mind.

The new old book, rather. The one from Apress is still "the new book"

@Andrew Well, it says "July 2010" on the Packt information page. I would say that qualifies as "new" in terms of dead-tree publishing. As I have not read either of them (yet) I can not say anything on the quality of the content of either book.

For those of you that read Andrew's comment and wonder what book he is referring to, see this link: http://apress.com/book/view/1430223650
