in thread Shell style line-editing without benefit of CPAN modules

Hmm, $1.89 for a book that really costs $34.95? Haven't really used this Amazon stuff, but $1.89 I can afford... ;) But, seems little too good to be true though... I mean such a decrease...

    Well, take into account that you can download it for free here: http://apress.com/free/. Sorry, should have mentioned that earlier!

      Hehe, tried to rip me off first eh? :) Now, tell me, why is it free and not? Guess it's getting little old...

        Hmmm, hard question to answer - I guess you'd have to ask the people at Apress. They asked me if I wanted it to be available for free when it was just about out of print. I figured it was a good way to reach more readers and it's not like it was a huge money-maker to begin with! I imagine they look at it as a way to gain some good-will from the community and hopefully turn a bad situation (the book wasn't a huge success financially) into something good.
