Amazon lists 106 different Perl books. Many, of course, are practically worthless and some are out of print. However I suspect that there are some real nuggets out there beyond the obvious O'Reilly's Llama, Camel, Twin Owls and Manning's/Conways OO book.
So, how about a Bibliophile's section, to elicit reviews of the hidden treasure out there. Sure, some reviews are available on Amazon, but most are too brief to be really useful. Motivation for superior reviews could come from bonus XP for detailed and knowledgeable reviews. A link to Amazon to the item in question, might over time, generate some revenue to provide those Perlmonks T-Shirts and Coffee mugs we all crave :-)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
