That book is from 2001, if my internet-foo isn't failing me. Aside from a bit of retro-computing, i wouldn't recommend it for learning Perl.

Unfortunately, Steven passed away in 2013, so whatever website he had (if any) is probably long gone. The publisher (Coriolis group) also seems to have gone away. I peeked into some of the shadier corners of the net, and a few places have scans of the book but not a copy of the CD.

Your best bet is to find another owner of the book as ask them if they's be willing to send you an electronic copy of the CD (which may or may not be legal). Aside from posting here and in other Perl forums, you could look at Ebay and similar platforms and try to contact all of the sellers of that book.
