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.

        Thanks, like expected.... sadly!

        If I find a cheap copy of it, I might use it for a drinking game at next YAPC. ;)
