I've heard you have new Perl for win 32 book coming out.
Is this true? Will it have a Gecko on the cover?
I have your Learning Perl for
win 32 book - love it.

Mike,
You must be thinking of the Perl Resource Kit, Win32 Edition. Like the UNIX Perl Resource Kit, the Win32 kit includes comprehensive reference documentation on the most useful Perl modules from CPAN, but it also includes a number of ActiveState Perl utilities, including a Perl debugger, PerlEX (which lets you run perl in process with your win32-based web server in much the same way that mod_perl works with Apache); the Win32 Perl Package Manager, which lets you easily install Win32-compatible Perl modules; PerlCOM, which lets you access Perl scripts as COM objects, Win32 Perl Help, and much more.
