I'll be interested to see how ...

Perl Graphics Programming - O'Reilly (Sept 2002)

... and ...

Graphics Programming with Perl - Manning (June 2002)

... compare.

I found that O'Reilly (ORA) books are great references, but a bit
pants at advanced or subject specific uses. I did, however, really
like Data Munging with Perl (Manning).

I thought Advanced Perl Programming (ORA) was cack on toast. I liked
the Essential Perl chapter in Object Oriented Perl (Manning) but I
don't really do OO perl, as a rule.

Perl in a Nutshell (ORA) is incomplete and I've not read Programming
Perl (ORA) (any edition). 

perldoc seems pretty cool though :)

Anyone else got any book views?

Steve
