Fellow Monks,

From browsing the second hand sections of online bookstores, it appears you can get a pretty good deal on some of the older versions of the Perl CD bookshelf.
You can get even get books not available in the current version 4.0 (Advanced Perl Programming, Perl for System Administration, Perl & XML, Perl & LWP, and Mastering Perl/Tk)

Below is a table I created, showing what's available in each version of the CD bookshelf. Where available, I've include a hyperlink for each book to it's perlmonks book review. It's a pity that Mastering regular expressions was only available in pdf format in version 4!
