Perl CD Bookshelf: Six Best-selling Perl Books Released on One CD-ROM


Sebastopol, CA--Arguably the best Perl books in print--"Programming
Perl", "Learning Perl", "Perl in a Nutshell", "Perl Cookbook",
"Learning Perl on Win32 Systems", and "Advanced Perl Programming"--are
now available on a single CD ROM in the immensely convenient "Perl CD
Bookshelf" by O'Reilly & Associates.

"Programming Perl, 2nd Edition", and "Learning Perl 2nd Edition" have
become so beloved of Perl programmers that they are commonly referred
to by their animal covers--as the "Camel book" and the "Llama book",
respectively.  Critics called the "Perl Cookbook" "amazing",
"invaluable", "excellent", and "indispensable". And in a review on
Slashdot, Andrew Gardner gave "Perl in a Nutshell" a 10 of 10 rating
and called it "a perfect book."

Together these 6 books would retail for $199.70, but the "Perl CD
Bookshelf", which includes all 6 on a searchable CD-ROM as well as a
hard copy of "Perl in a Nutshell", sells for only $59.95. In addition
to the savings, other advantages of the "Perl CD Bookshelf" include:

- Easy look-up. You can search the indexes of all 6 books at once in
your browser window.  
- Extensive cross-referencing. Links enable you to move quickly
between books to get your information. 
- Portability. No need to haul 6 books with you to a client or
off-site meeting--or home for another 6 hours or late night coding. A
single CD holds all the Perl information you need.
