Tell me, fellow monks, if this has ever happened to you...

I found myself rushing out the door, with my laptop. Then as I get on the train, I begin to work on my script which is just working with directories. I was missing a piece of information about the proper way to stat the modtime of a file. I was looking on my Perl CD Bookshelf CD and could not find it. I then realized this information was in a great tutorial in our very Monastery.

I feel that just like the Perl Journal has a book of code examples and good articles, there should be a good book about the Wonderful Goings-On in the Monastery.

I look forward to information that may point to a more CONCISE overview of all of the information found in these hallowed walls. I, myself, today will be using HTTRACK to download all of the Tutorials to HTML files on my local workstation so I can take them with me


Look forward to hearing from you all
