Hi, guys. This debate now seems quite off-topic. Discussions of good newbie style should be held on your favourite Perl newsgroup (.misc or .moderated).
Discussions of whether O'Reilly owns the immortal souls of its authors are best held with its authors. I'll chase down the learn.perl.org site. I like Shlomi's redesign, and I'm keen to implement similar changes on the learn.perl.org site. I agree that the book reviews don't belong on the home page. I'm not sure whether there's a redesign ready to launch, so I can't promise we'll simply adopt Shlomi's design, but I am very much in favour of seeing something similar go onto learn.perl.org. Nat
