[Boulder.pm] Roll call?

[DeAndre Carroll]

  I'm in complete about the cookbook. One of the best Perl books I've 
ever read and really kicked my knowledge of how Perl works into full 
gear. Once you get past some of the examples in there, I'd recommend 
Effective Perl Programming (http://www.effectiveperlprogramming.com/) to 
learn more about modern day, idiomatic Perl.
