> Hi Keary 
> 
> My name is Velimir Ilic and I'm an Author Agent for Wrox Press
> (<http://www.wrox.com> ). As part of my role I look after all new/current
> authors and reviewers, and match them up with projects that may be of
> interest to them.
> 
> We are currently in the process of producing a publication dedicated to
> professional Perl programming and are seeking authors who have the expertise
> to write chapters on one or more of the following subjects:-
> 
> Perl and Relational Databases
> (access to MS SQL servers via the Sybase drivers, Oracle, and probably a bit
> of MySQL too. Modules that should be covered include DBI::W32ODBC,
> Win32::ODBC, Win32::DBIODBC, DBFramework, and Tangram)
> 
> Mathematical and Computational Applications
> (Perl Math Modules, Mathematical Algorithms with Perl, Matrices,
> Cryptography)
> 
> Distributed Perl Programming
> (IPC, RPC, CORBA)
> 
> Perl and Portability
> (Writing Portable Programs (POSIX.pm), Perl functions that may not be
> portable, Specific Platform Issues (UNIX, Windows, Mac, others?))
> 
> MacPerl
> This could be included with the 'Perl and Portability' chapter, and will be
> a kind of overview - we envisage that the person who writes this will have
> experience of portability issues...
> 
> In addition to these chapters, we need authors to write the following
> sections:
> 
> * A section on 'Perl IDEs and Editors'
> * Integrating Perl with IIS
> * Integrating Perl with Netscape
> 
> Is this something you could contribute to? If so, we would need your first
> draft of the chapter(s)/section(s) within two weeks, so please let me know
> ASAP if you are interested in writing for us. I realise the timeline is very
> tight (and that this would mean a concerted effort) but we've introduced an
> on-time submission bonus payment to offer some compensation for this (in
> addition to our existing payment terms). I'm here to answer any queries you
> might have, and our editorial team would also be available to offer
> constructive feedback on your outlines/drafts. Contributing to this could
> certainly lead to further opportunities - there is plenty of scope for
> involvement in future projects, where hopefully the timeframe will be a
> little less restrictive!
> 
> I look forward to hearing from you...
> 
> All good wishes
