Perl CD Bookshelf: Six-Best-selling Perl Books Released on One CD-ROM
SEBASTOPOL, CA -- Arguably the best Perl books in print -- Programming Perl,
Learning Perl, Perl in a Nutshell, Perl Cookbook, Learning Perl on
Win32 Systems, and Advanced Perl Programming -- are now available
on a single CD ROM in the immensely convenient
Perl CD
Bookshelf by O'Reilly & Associates.
Programming Perl, 2nd Edition, and Learning Perl, 2nd Edition
have become so beloved of Perl programmers that they are commonly referred
to by their animal covers-as the "Camel book" and the "Llama book",
respectively. Critics called Perl Cookbook "amazing," "invaluable,"
"excellent," and "indispensable." And in a review on Slashdot, Andrew
Gardner gave Perl in a Nutshell a 10 of 10 rating and called it "a
perfect book."
Together these 6 books would retail for $199.70, but the
Perl CD
Bookshelf, which includes all 6 on a searchable CD-ROM as well as a
hard copy of Perl in a Nutshell, sells for only $59.95. In addition to
the savings, other advantages of the
Perl CD
Bookshelf include:
- Easy look-up-you can search the indexes of all 6 books at once in
your browser window.
- Extensive cross-referencing. Links enable you to move quickly between
books to get your information.
- Portability. No need to haul 6 books with you to a client or
off-site meeting-or home for another 6 hours or late night coding. A
single CD holds all the Perl information you might need.
