Thanks to all who have purchased our book so far. You can still get the
printed version from your favorite book store and it will certainly make a
nice "light" XMas present (hint, hint
This is really great news. I would like to thanks Stas Bekman and Eric Cholet (and their publisher) for making this book available online. We could always use more online books, and there's especially a shortage of good Perl online books.
I should note that Stas Bekman donated a copy of the book to the Israeli Perl Mongers library. Right now, I have borrowed it from there, (after many other mongers borrowed it) and am in the middle of reading. It takes quite a long time to read it, and the book is full of useful tips, nuances, and other important information. The reason I think these are great news is because with the book being online, I will be able to consult it whenever I recall something important that I read there, or need some guidance. I don't expect to handily remember everything that appear there, when I'm done with it.
