Greetings Fellow Monks,

Some days ago I was reading the thread on Unwritten Perl Books. It made me wonder: are the comments on the thread still valid now in 2007 (the node was written in 2004)? On my side, I would love to see a book on the use of Perl for Data Mining from Open APIs. In particular, I would love to see a book in which the authors show how to

  1. gather the data
  2. modify the data to facilitate the analysis
  3. visualize the data
  4. use some numerical capabilities such as those in the PDL for analysing the data
  5. visualize the results

This is what I had in my wish list. What do you have in yours?

Cheers,
