When reading through the book, I felt the change from the end of Chapter 1, where you've got sections like The Default Array Variables, to Chapter 2: Perl and Its Community, was a bit jarring.

The end of Chapter 1 didn't really feel like philosophy anymore, instead it felt like we were getting into details of code. Then we bounce back to Community, and then in further chapters to code.

I think it may read better if you simply reverse Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. Chapter 2 (Perl and Its Community). Just a suggestion, I wonder what other people think?
