Frank Wiles writes "A book that Doug Sparling and myself wrote was recently published by Osborne/McGraw-Hill called Instant Perl Modules.

The book details the use of CPAN modules that we have found useful in our professional careers. We cover topics like working with dates, databases, image manipulation, CGIs, E-mail, Perl/Tk, working with Internet protocols, Win32, XML, secure programming, and writing your own modules. It covers in great detail building web based applications such as polls, bulletin boards, banner ad rotation, etc.

It is intended for intermediate Perl programmers that have a grasp of basic Perl syntax, but do not have much experience with using libraries provided by CPAN."
