Canadians (and possibly other non-US monks) Buying Perl Books Onlineby FouRPlaY (Monk) |

Just a note to let Canadians (and possibly other non-US monks) know that I did some comparison shoping over the weekend (limited, of course, as I am lazy).
I compared the prices on Programming Perl (3rd ed.), Perl Cookbook, and Learning Perl (2nd ed.) on FatBrain.com (linked to from perlmonks.org) and Chapters.ca. Dispite FatBrain.com being an American site and the Canadian dollar being fairly low ($0.6538US), I still manged to save $70CDN from Chapters.ca. This more than made up for a $20US ($30.59CDN)shipping fee. I'd assume that shipping costs for monks overseas might alter this perspective, but I didn't check (like I said: lazy). But FatBrain.com had a nicely orginized chart for shipping costs. I hope this information helps someone out there. FouRPlaY Learning Perl or Going To Die Trying
