Personally, and unfortunately, I found this book to be next to useless. YMMV but, due to my frustration at the lack of light this book gave me, again personally, I sat down and read *all* the perlpod documentation and found these to much more use. It isn't particularly obvious which bits of perlpod you need but I have nicely groffed and bound copies of:- perlxs, perlxstut, perlapi, perlguts, perlcall and perlembed permanently to hand and they are invaluable. I must say that a simple, alphabetical, list + description of perlapi would be useful. A kwic index might be even better. Dirk
