When this poll asks "If you could own one Perl book..." is that like, I'm washed up on a desert island with a computer and a Perl book, which Perl book would I choose? Or is it, if I could give only one Perl book to everyone on the planet, which book would I choose?

Assuming the desert island, I choose PBP. I'd choose the Cookbook, but I've already read that so many times I almost have it memorized.

If we were nominating the one book to give to the world, I'd change my vote to Programming Perl.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
