About this title

Synopsis

Perl programmers increasingly rely on the Web, online help, and other online information sources to cure information pain. Now O'Reilly's Perl CD Bookshelf gives you convenient online access to your favorite books from your CD-ROM drive.

The Perl CD Bookshelf contains a powerhouse of O'Reilly Animal Guides. Included are complete, unabridged versions of Perl in a Nutshell; Programming Perl, 2nd Edition; Perl Cookbook; Advanced Perl Programming; Learning Perl; and Learning Perl on Win32 Systems. As a bonus, the hard-copy version of Perl in a Nutshell is also included.

Never has it been easier to learn, or look up, what you need to know online. Formatted in HTML, The Perl CD Bookshelf can be accessed with any Web browser. The books are fully searchable and cross-referenced. In addition to individual indexes for each book, a master index for the entire library is provided.

Review

This review only needs four words. O'Reilly's Perl compendium is, without a doubt, the ultimate Perl resource.

Containing electronic editions of Perl in a Nutshell, Programming Perl (2nd Edition), Perl Cookbook, Advanced Perl Programming, Learning Perl, and Learning Perl on Win32 Systems, together with a hardbound edition of Perl in a Nutshell, this immaculate collection is a winner in terms of depth and value for the money. If you're looking for something to do with Perl, it will be here somewhere.

Releasing books on CD-ROM is an intelligent move for O'Reilly, since it means that hints, tips, and syntax guidance can be easily found, code snippets pasted straight into working documents, and multiple electronic bookmarks set and referred to within a couple of clicks.

Learning Perl's patient, leveled approach is perfect for the beginner, while the example-packed Perl Cookbook is an essential resource for intermediate users. True techies can cuddle up with Advanced Perl Programmingand the excellent Learning Perl on Win32 Systems. There's something for everyone here.

Besides the complete and unabridged text, the package contains fully hyperlinked, cross-referenced indexes, which are fully searchable, and an overall index that covers all six volumes in one easy-to-use file.

It's difficult to express just how good this package is. For this reviewer, nothing else on the market today can touch it. --Chris Russell, amazon.co.uk
