The cost of technical books in SA is horrific. However I had a pleasant
surprise with Amazon.com. I wanted a copy of Perl,CGI and Javascript
Compleat. I got a secondhand one for $4.50 off the Amazon site. The book
is in reasonable condition and a lot cheaper than the $18.75 for a new
one. Also at a value of $4.50 there was no customs hassle (which can be a
problem with Amazon orders). <br>
oh yes - and I got it in 9 days!<br><br>

Yes, I have it...I haven't read it cover to cover but it is a great
<br>
improvement over edition 2. It doesn't do the "Chapter one - very
basic" <br>
"Chapter Two - very complex" jump. <br><br>
It is much more logically structured and much easier to read.<br><br>
I don't recommend it to people who have the camel book already but I do
<br>
recommend it to perl programmers. If possible try get edition 3 over
edition <br>
2. <br><br>
