Hello,

I hope you might be willing to share some of your expertise about
Perl in your community. Our recently released book "Elements of 
Programming with Perl" was written to be a useful resource to those 
interested in learning how to program using Perl as a first language. 
We have received lots of feedback indicating that it would be an ideal 
text for college instructors of introductory Perl courses. It has, in 
fact, already been adopted by several U.S. schools.

In her December '99 book review at perlmonth.com, Rachel Rawlings
called it, "the well-written equivalent of a first-year computer
science text with all concepts and examples explained in Perl."
Tom Christiansen has indicated to us he plans to give the book 
"5 Camels" and should be posting a review shortly.

I am hoping that you have some knowledge of Perl instruction and may 
know which colleges offer Perl programming courses in your area. You 
may even know Perl instructors within your Perl Mongers group 
membership. I would appreciate any information you can pass along to 
me, such as which schools to contact and, if possible, instructors' 
names, addresses and phone or email. I am planning to communicate with
these individuals either by mail or email.

Manning is a small publisher and we try to present our books only to
those who would really benefit from them. In appreciation of your
valuable information, we will send you one complementary copy of a
current or upcoming Manning book for review and raffle at an upcoming
Perl Mongers group meeting. You can select it from www.manning.com.
Please make sure to include your current address. I hope to hear from
you soon and thanks for your help.

Regards,


Helen Trimes
