Network Programming with Perl

Acknowledgments

They say that the first skill an editor learns on the job is patience, but I think that Karen Gettman was born with an excess of it. She must have caught on after the second or third time that when I said "it should be done in just another week," I really was talking about months. Yet she never betrayed any sign of dismay, even though I'm sure she was fighting an increasingly restive production and marketing staff. To Karen, all I can say is "thank you!"

Thanks also to Mary Hart, the assistant editor responsible for my book. I have worked with Mary on other projects, and I know that it is her tireless effort that makes publishing with Addison-Wesley seem so frictionless.

I am extremely grateful to the technical reviewers who worked ...
