I thought I'd add a third in the series of book nodes ;-)

So, what books do you have sitting on your bookshelf or permanently open on your desk?

It used to be Learning Perl for me, and is now Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules, with Higher Order Perl on it's way (for my birthday).

I am a book freak, so I currently own (in no particular order):

These are all great books (and CD's), but there's nothing like the wealth of documentation that actually comes with the Perl source.

There is however, a world of difference between reading about Perl and actually implementing what you've learned.

So I'll toddle off and get back to some coding ;-)

Thanks,
Gavin.
