Actually, no. I live in the UK, and price for O'Reilly books here are significantly higher. Amazon US has "Intermediate Perl" new for $25, while Amazon UK has it for $46, excluding postage. Also, I live in a relatively small town in Scotland, whose libraries tend not to purchase obscure programming books on demand. Look, I'm not after pity. I just want advice about which book to get.
