Writing a book on Modern Perl is nuts.

I've written two.

Perl changes so often that writing about it is like trapping a unicorn.

Not really. I document things with staying power. For example, I documented only the parts of smart match that are easy to explain. Everything else is up for debate, and thus not really worth recommending. (Besides, I'm not trying to replace the documentation.)
