Wow, sorry about that! It was one of the top links that appeared on google when I searched about the "can_read" method! The page had graphics similar in style, or maybe that even were from, the O'Reilly site, I didn't think for a second that the material was stolen!

I had no mallicious intent when posting that link, just trying to help someone out who hadn't come across "can_read" before.

I am a great supporter of books and find them far easier to learn from than the majority of the content on the web (although there are some very good Perl tutorial sites). I especially support the O'Reilly series of books of which I have the Camel, and DBI Cheetah books.

Appologies to chromatic for the misuse.

I will be more careful in future
