Yes! The Eagle Book!!!
Im afraid this is a "me too" email, but I am __compelled__ to write it.
As a mostly self-educated programmer, I have devoured many technical
books, but the Eagle book ranks as one of the best written techincal book
I have ever read. Very coherent and builds up and sweeps its subject very
nicely. There are many intelligent people who are masters of their subjects 
and have written books/tomes on their domain, but there is a big difference 
between understanding something well yourself and being able to explain it
well to others.

Lincoln and Doug, THANKS!!! The Eagle book is a major contribution to the
mod_perl community and your hard work on it has not gone unnoticed.

And ofcourse Stas' ongoing contribution is without par.

I second that! It has been an invaluable source of information. And it
is very readable as well. :-)

Not on mod_perl, but I wouldn't develop a big system until you've read
Damian Conway's "Object Oriented Perl".

I used the eagle book.  I have done very well with it.  Are there 
really any other books out there on the subject?
