There is also a New Book out RSN for the beginers written by
Wall, Christiansen & Schwarts.

If your newsfeed don't expire the comp.lang groups pretty fast you vould
have noticed that the group allready had a discussion on how usefull 
The Book is. A general answer may be that the books is as usefull as 
how YOU use it. Some people can live with just the manpage, others like
to have A Camel in their office, at the breakfast table and in the loo :-)

[... Note: for those who do not know what a 'loo' (engl.) is, it's a place
     where you can get rid of a great deal of shit :-), or crapper as my
     friend Charles Bukowsi said.
     Note II: for those who do not know who C.B. is, he's the most
     translated and known cotemporay American (US) author. Sold aprox 50
     billion books worldwide ...]

Some people ride their Camel so much that the pages starts to fall out,
if so happens, give it to your co-worker and buy a new one. Except if
you have the first printing: January 1991. 


Title:   Programming Perl
Authors: Larry Wall & Randal L. Schwartz
