A minor clarification:

By linking to Buy Stuff, The esteemed Ovid is not implying that you have to buy books through our store. Perlmonks is a place to learn Perl, and to help others learn Perl. Some of this is funded by these book sales.

I say this because I want it to be clear that Ovid specifically believes that "Perl for Dummies" might not be the best way to go, rather then "Oh, here's a sucker, lets get them to buy books from us!" There are few generalizations that cover the monks here, but one important statement is that no one who is at the higher ranks (see Saints in our book) will intentionally mislead you into spending money.
