It wasn't clear to me that you meant two separate items:
"Perl CD Bookshelf" and,
PRK, "Perl Resource Kit".
I've done some cut/paste from www.orielly.com
- Perl Resource Kit -- Unix Edition
(http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/prkunix/)
I remember waiting for its 1997 release. It never had a second
edition. It had 4 books in a bookcase box:
1. Perl Utilities Guide
2. Programming with Perl Modules
3-4. Perl Module Reference (2 books)
- Perl CD Bookshelf, Version 3.0
(http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perlcdbs3/index.html)
I still have Version 1.0, which was never intended to run from a hard
disk, since hard disk sizes weren't big enough to suck up entire CD's
at the time. O'Reilly had a hack that allowed me to install it on
a laptop, once disk drives grew big enough to run them locally. It
has 7 books on the CD, and one paperback version:
1. second edition of Perl in a Nutshell (paperback version included),
2-3. the third editions of Learning Perl and Programming Perl,
4. the Perl Cookbook
5. Perl & XML,
6. Perl & LWP
7. Mastering Perl/Tk.
