[rochester-pm-list] Perl Cookbook

[Patrick Ludwig]

Sorry I don't have time for a detailed review now, but the jist of it 
would be -> 'buy it'

Each chapter details a topic from things as mundane as arrays to 
cgi and databases.  It starts with a 5 page or so overview of the 
topic, then many usable code samples are given, followed by full 
program which is generally useful.

Its got my vote as the best perl book ever, my copy has already 
got that well-worn look that all the best books get.
