Simon writes "The fine folks at Wrox Press have now released the contents of my book Beginning Perl for free download. It joins the Mason book in the Learn Perl Online Library."
If I find the book worthwhile, I'm much more likely to buy a copy now.
Free online materials are excellent marketing.

Done. Very Cool!
If you send me a short description of the book, then I'll be happy to add that too.
Back then we had a couple of copies of the MacPerl book at Netcetera to borrow to people who wanted to learn Perl.:-)

"MacPerl: Power and Ease is designed for both the beginner to Perl, and those who want to take advantage of Perl on Mac OS. It's divided into three primary sections: learning about programming, learning about Perl, and advanced topics. The latter includes brief sections on objects and references, and more complete information on how to use the Mac toolbox modules for making windows and dialog boxes and using AppleScript with Perl. It covers the MacPerl based on perl 5.004, and Mac OS (Classic), but much of the first two parts apply to any platform, and much of the third part applies to Mac OS X."
Howzat? I always thought that the first two parts were a fairly good introduction to programming/Perl for people on any platform; not for everyone, but really good for some people. Hopw they find it useful. Thanks!
