I think there's been a fairly consistent Perl Workshop or YAPC talk (and accompanying set of slides) each year that generally covers things. Perl 5.10 (acme) - http://www.slideshare.net/acme/perl-510 Perl 5.12 (acme) - http://www.slideshare.net/acme/whats-new-inperl Perl 5.14 (Andrew Shitov) - http://www.slideshare.net/andy.sh/whats-new-in-perl-514 Perl 5.16 (Pavel) http://www.slideshare.net/fxzuz/perl-516-new-features Not exactly a cookbook, but a good summary of the new features added. Also I've been checking the perldelta files each time (eg. https://metacpan.org/module/RJBS/perl-5.16.3/pod/perl5160delta.pod) and I don't think any major release has made perl *slower*, so if your intention is to sell perl upgrades to management that's always a good line :-) - Alex
