“All in all, I’ve written over 200 magazine articles and contributed to a half-dozen best selling books on Perl. This makes me the world’s busiest Perl print author, of which I’m rather proud. Knowing this, Apress approached me about taking the best and most frequently referenced of my already legendary column articles, and turning them into a smart-to-read book. I let them pick the best 70-or-so columns (with a bit of nudging here and there), and insisted that they be published in a manner that was historically accurate,†according to Schwartz.
