Who reads the book. I just use it as reference. I am not the best Perl guru
in the world, but I can program everything I need perl to do. If I ever need

This is a piece of FUD along the lines of inline POD slows code down
that keeps people fearful of CPAN and I'd really rather see die. To

Others have well dealt to this.
