Re: OT praise for the cookbook

[Mark Swayne]

Having become a fan of OOPerl I would really love to see some good treatment of using all those nifty Class::* modules. Especially with multiple inheritance. I have to admit that I've been a bit timid to do much in the way of experimentation...

BTW, any time anyone approaches me with a desire to learn Perl, I tell them to buy three books (in order), Learning Perl, Perl in a Nutshell and Perl Cookbook. The book has been a huge help, it spurred me into learning new things as a newbie and now with a few years under my belt, it is an invaluable reference. I've got high hope for a second edition.

American ideas of freedom are bound up with a vision of information policy that counts information as social wealth owned by all. We believe we are entitled to say what we think, to think what we want, and to learn whatever were willing to explore. Part of the information ethos in the United States is that facts and ideas cannot be owned, suppressed, censored or regulated, they are meant to be found, studied, passed along and freely traded in the "marketplace of ideas".
