Review

This large box set represents the state of the art in Perl for 32-bit Windows systems. In this package, you have the Perl core modules, extensions, utilities, and scores of excellent technical documentation. If you want to develop Perl software under Windows NT or other modern Windows environments, you need the Perl Resource Kit-- Win32 Edition.

The CD-ROM is the big news here. It contains the Win32 Perl core binaries, plus PerlCtrl, PerlCOM, PL2EXE, and Perl for Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI). You'll also find Perl Web-server extensions and the ActiveState Perl Debugger environment. All this is in addition to the examples from the books! Perhaps best of all, the disk holds the language's source files. Yes, you could get most of this software online, but the convenience of having all the binaries and source together on a CD-ROM--to say nothing of the documentation--makes the Perl Resource Kit--Win32 Edition extraordinary and worthwhile. --David Wall
