I agree that the fact that perlmonks is alive would
make it hard to place all this into a book. It would be
outdated before it ever came close to hitting the press.
That never stopped Perl texts. Especially the wretched ones
that give outdated information that became obsolete before
the book was thought into being.

"Reputation: -1". Sigh. <head shaking> The price of
honesty.
