There was a lot of stuff removed from Learning Perl 3rd Ed that was in
2nd.  It has been kind of cool to see what was removed.  I guess they
thought that some of the items were a: not important or relevant b: more
advanced or c: deprecated (tm).  I haven't seen anything added to 3rd
that wasn't in 2nd though, I admit I don't reference that book that much
anymore.
