Tell your cheap-ass friend to plunk down the $40 and buy a damn copy of the book. Yes, I know it's not dirt-cheap, but it's not prohibitively expensive for anyone with the financial resources to already own a computer! Buying Perl books supports the authors (like Larry, Randall, and many others on this list) who've contributed to Perl. Complaining that learning something requires buying a couple books is ridiculous. There are not many things in this world worth learning that can be easily learned with absolutely no investment of money. But $40 is a pretty small investment, I'd say. -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/Thread Previous | Thread Next
