Full Description

Perl programmers increasingly rely on the Web, online help, and other online information sources to solve technical problems. Version 3.0 of O'Reilly's Perl CD Bookshelf gives you convenient online access to your favorite books from your CD-ROM drive. We've updated this best selling product with the electronic versions of 7 popular Perl books. Included are the second edition of Perl in a Nutshell (paperback version included), the third editions of Learning Perl and Programming Perl, the Perl Cookbook, and 3 new titles: Perl & XML, Perl & LWP, and Mastering Perl/Tk. In addition to the reference material and tutorials in Programming Perl and Learning Perl, many of the most popular and useful applications for Perl are covered in these seven books. Many XML programmers are turning to Perl as a language for XML processing because of its text-processing features and the many powerful modules designed for XML development. LWP is the most downloaded Perl distribution in all of CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network). Perl/Tk is the most mature toolkit, has a wide community of experienced users, and is easy to use for building applications. Never has it been easier to learn, or look up, what you need to know online. Formatted in HTML, The Perl CD Bookshelf, Version 3.0, can be accessed with any web browser. The books are fully searchable and cross-referenced. In addition to individual indexes for each book, there is a master index for the entire library. With the CD Bookshelf, you get a complete Perl library that you can easily carry with you anywhere you need it.

Media reviews "One advantage of this format is immediately apparent: a tremendous amount of shelf space is saved by using CDs. Just these two packages alone save about a foot and a half of precious space... Being able to search all the books at the same time is really handy if, like me, you often remember that there was a description of something you need, but you can?t remember what book you saw it in...As a supreme test of portability, I loaded both CD Bookshelf CDs onto the compact flash module in my Sharp Zaurus PDA...Being able to carry a complete 14 book technical reference library in your pocket, and use it with ease, is a real winner."

"An indispensable bookshelf. Trees are proud to die for these top titles! If there is one book you really need to keep handy--if you use Perl for a living--it's the 'Perl CD Bookshelf'. O'Reilly has a made a specialty out of Perl documentation...and this is a compendium of seven key texts on the language...its hard to exaggerate the value of this book too highly--'Perl in a Nutshell' is itself vital to a jobbing Perl Programmer, and the combination with six other core books provides a level of coverage that can't easily be equaled."--Charlie Stross, Linux Format, February 2003

Reviews From Previous Edition
"O'Reilly & Associates publishes most of the Perl canon, but that's a lot of weight to carry around. 'The Perl CD Bookshelf' puts six popular Perl titles at your disposal in one easy to carry CD. You get 'Learning Perl', 'Learning Perl on Win32,' 'Programming Perl,' 'Advanced Perl Programming,' 'The Perl Cookbook,' and 'Perl in a Nutshell' (also provided in hard-copy). It's just HTML, so it works on any platform and is searchable. Take the camel everywhere you go!"--The Perl Review
