Previous versions of of the Perl CD Bookshelf have always come with {...} Learning Perl {...}
Not true. The first Perl CD came with either the first or second edition of Learning Perl, but the second CD edition had no edition of Learning Perl, only because Tom Phoenix and I had not yet frozen the third edition of Learning Perl at the time that the CD needed to be frozen (and the second edition was deemed to be deprecated at that time).

I'm very happy that O'Reilly made good on their promise to re-include Learning Perl on this CD. As the canonical "first 35 hours you should spend with Perl", it's a great way to cover the gamut in a single CD.
