in reply to Who still uses the camel book?

This node sent me to my bookshelf to check...

Sure enough, Programming Perl (3rd edition) is there next to Programming The Perl DBI and Perl Best Practices. Next to those is Linux Secrets ©1996 which included Slackware v3.0!

They haven't been there for 5 years as that bookcase has been moved this year...but I cannot recall the last time I looked at them. I look up Perl command syntax online rather than in a book.

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    Bod, pleased to see you're a Linux guru with experience dating back to the 1990s! Well done for tricking me a few weeks ago, when I wrongly assumed you were a Linux novice. :)

      A book being present on my bookcase is vastly different to a book having been read...
      ...this book is definitely an example of "shelf development"!
