    Sure, but you can buy at that price only in the Indian subcontinent. :-)

    About your update, this is where NBCIndia's role as a retailer plays - you see, books at local prices are sold by Shroff publishers, but NBC(as a distributor or retailer) is free to fix prices or jack them up on imported books. And, I'm not sure if *that* book is worth the price. :-)

      This "book" is one magnitude more expensive than PBP and listed on top of "most popular" searches for Perl.

      I wouldn't be surprised if many interviews in India are based on this...

      • "What's the answer for question 5.2 on page 194 of THE book?"

      • "Second edition, sir?"

      And I wouldn't be surprised to recognize some FAQ from SOPW.

      Would be interesting to have a look into this book, a review could be even nicer. :)

      Tried googling yesterday without success...

        LOL, your post actually prompted me to search and I found this on amazon. There's even a review by brian_d_foy on that page.
