The list of books are at the bottom. The first paragraph has links to www.cpan.org and www.perl.org. Between those two, you have links to all of the important Perl information. Who cares if the books are available online? Those are the books I would recommend to people. The "Online Library" link takes you to a page that has the full text of several books available for free online. > 3. There aren't any links to online tutorials anywhere on the site.

As I showed earlier, it already links to www.perl.org, as known as "The Perl Directory". That's the only important link it really needs. Mailing lists on the front page: tips, beginners, beginners-digest, beginners-cgi, beginners-cgi-digest, release-announce, jobs There is also a pointer to nntp.perl.org. > 5.

I don't see any reason it needs to be open to all subscribers, either, especially if you are going to lie like you do in this post.
