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 :-)
