in reply to (OT) I prefer to do my learning with: dead trees or flying electrons?

Here are some reasons why I bought the camel book, even though the man pages are fine:

It's a good book. It's more entertaining than the man pages and packed full of historical anecdotes and such.
It's nice to give a little money to Larry and the other writers, as well as O'Reilly, which does a lot for the Perl community.
The number of copies of the camel that O'Reilly sells are often cited as evidence of how many Perl programmers are out there.

These are basically the reasons I purchased it as well. --- demerphq _{First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. -- Gandhi}	[reply] [d/l]
