If anyone is interested the web site for the book is at:
http://www.cgi-perl.com/
Randal's comment is:
This book should definitely be on your shelf for ready-to-run programs and
inspiration for your own custom programs.
According to the website Randal Schwartz is co-author of 'Programming in
Perl', has anyone seen this book, is it any good?
