[kw-pm] new o'reilly book

[Daniel R. Allen]

Ah yes- the mod_perl guide has been my main source of mod_perl information
for a long time.  Looking at the book, I'd consider the dead-tree version
superior.  And that's my mini-micro-review. :-)

Thanks for the note about Stas Bekman, I didn't naturally pair up this
book with the mod_perl guide online.
