I ended up spending a lot of time with O'Reilly and with Tom Christiansen getting this worked out. O'Reilly was willing to work with us on it, provided I could get Tom and Nate to agree. It took a long time to finally sit down with Tom and iron out the last few details. He was okay with the idea, as long as the community did not try to overlap what was in core Perl. That would be the realm of the next Cookbook, which may or may not be on the horizon. The "community cookbook" could be above and beyond that, covering modules or techniques beyond core Perl. By the time I got this hammered out, my O'Reilly contact was busy with other stuff and my $day_job had heated up as well. Although a few people had expressed interest, there wasn't a huge swell of support. Maybe approaching the topic again from brian's perspective will work better. G.
