It sounds like you have the start of an O'Reilly book on the PerlPi

After a couple of days since you posted this, I actually looked quite deeply into this.

I have a couple of concerns right off the bat. First, I'm moving out onto a self-sustainable property in the imminent couple of months that is going to take up a lot of my time. This is why I have put in such time and effort getting the code close to what I'm happy with. I am not certain until I've been there at least for several months if I could keep deadlines. Second, I don't know if there'd be the audience for it to be financially viable for O'Reilly, or myself. Perl usage is dwindling if one looks at reality seriously, so that, combined with the fact there's going to be far fewer people using a Pi *and* Perl, the potential audience drops significantly.

The thought alone is an exciting one, but I've always been a practical person, and reality is what I live by. I'd do it if, you know, the document I'm now going to start makes headway and gets positive reviews, and if it would make fiscal sense to myself (to at least cover costs (ie. time)) and some publisher.

People for years have told me I need to write a book (my poetry/lyrics, a book about my photographic adventures), but it's an interesting concept writing a book based on my own software and technical achievements.
