I think you are getting into dangerous territory here. First, you need to find out legal issues with who owns the answers posted. Do I own my answer, or does Everything Inc. own it (I have seen nothing here stating that I give up any copyright for my text)? Assuming that our answers are public domain, no royalties would need to be paid. Personally, I certainly wouldn't post any more answers here knowing you can take them and make money from them. And, I would erase all my previous answers to ensure you don't make money by simply printing my words. People would have to clearly know up front that anything posted to this site may be used in full for print reproduction without concent. Anyways, I have had this same sort of discussion with perlfaq.com, and it is somewhat of a dangerous territory (at least of perlfaq.com authors are limited, here they are not). Also, most answers found here are available in books, FAQs and documentation freely available. They are also freely available here. You would essentially be trying to duplicate the Perl Cookbook, which is Wrong IMO. Other issues are that I don't know who would buy a book with answers from dozens of people, many unknowns. Many answers posted on this site are simply wrong, which would be hard on the books credibility.. blah blah.. anyways.. my $.03 :)

Cheers,
