in thread O'reilly some sort of perl monopoly?

Since Larry Wall is (according to his bio in Programming Perl) an associate of O'Reilly, he makes money from books sold by O'Reilly, is he party to this conspiracy?

Actually Larry no longer works (directly) for O'Reilly, see this article for more details. Now he might still get royalties from O'Reilly for the books he wrote, but as Dominus recently said thats not nearly as much $$ as you might think.
