Hi,

I got a UPS package tonight from a nice editor at Addison Wesley.

Would anyone like to review "Network Programming with Perl" by
Lincoln Stein?  Here are the chapters:

1   Input/Output Basics
2   Processes, Pipes, and Signals
3   Introduction to Berkeley Sockets
4   The TCP Protocol
5   The IO::Socket API
6   FTP and Telnet
7   SMTP:  Sending Mail
8   POP, IMAP, and NNTP:  Processing Mail and Netnews
9   Web Clients
10  Forking Servers and the inetd Daemon
11  Multithreaded Applications
12  Multiplexed Applications
13  Nonblocking I/O
14  Bulletproofing Servers
15  Preforking and Prethreading
16  IO::Poll
17  TCP Urgent Data
18  The UDP Protocol
19  UDP Servers
20  Broadcasting
21  Multicasting
22  UNIX-Domain Sockets

The book looks pretty nice.  Lincoln has a reputation for writing
clear examples, and even aside from all that, it's typeset well.
But enough of that.  Anyone with a decent background in the above
stuff want to give this thing a gander and report back to the group?

Walter
