IMHO *all* the O'Reilly books are good - including "Mastering Regular
Expressions". And yes, I would recommend the O'Reilly book as both
reference, and to learn from (I use it when I need more RegEx help
than I can find in the other O'Reilly Perl books).
BTW, TB is *not* written in Perl, it is written with Delphi.
