LOL, thanks for the mention!

I'm not a book writer, but I'll gladly co-help someone who wants to write based on my experience with the various C libraries, and which ones I have experience in Perl-izing, particularly the ones I've done front-to-end just for Perl ;)

Pretty much all of my efforts lately have been writing code for the Pi specifically, or writing drivers for many various Integrated Circuits that typically work on the Arduino platform, in C, and wrapping for Perl.

Me thinks I'll continue down this path.

For those that don't know, my contributions to the CPAN include many such pieces of software (look at modules starting with "RPi"), and have a look at WiringPi::API, which is the wrapper for wiringPi that led me down this path.

As far as being next to merlyn on a book shelf, I kind of doubt it, but the thought was spine-tingling just thinking about it :)

I write lyrics and poetry; I've considered a book (unrelated to programming), but it isn't in my cards I don't think. Again, that said, I'd definitely co-author or co-help anyone who is a legit writer and wants to take a crack at it. Might be the Perl-related job I've been looking for all along.

As many know, the book that commenced the process of me taking the step of newb to intermediate was Learning Objects, References and Modules by Schwartz/Phoenix themselves. I recommend that book specifically. I have not read thoroughly any of his books beyond that.
