Rating:  - essential PERL
I already own a couple of the titles on this but thought it would be useful to have electronic search when looking up examples etc.
I don't think I have opened the paper books since I installed this. It sits right there on my desktop, examples are easily copied to an editor to be tried.
Extremely useful

O'reilly has done it again!
The PERL CD Bookshelf version 4.0 is what every Script writer, System Admin and Programmer needs to have in there
Library. It has a hardcopy of PERL in a nutshell 2nd edition and the following on the CD for your quick use.
PERL in a nutshell 2nd edition, Learning PERL 3rd edition, Mastering Regular Expressions 2nd edition, Programming PERL 3rd edition, PERL Cookbook 2nd edition, Learning PERL objects, references, and Modules, and a bonus section of related materials from O'reilly's Network, Boy what a find this is. I can honestly say this CD will replace all of my other PERL books and with the master search tool provided I can quickly find what I am looking for. I wish all tech books where like this. Also noted These materials also cover the newer PERL 5.8.

Rating: - Only Perl resource you need!
This book and CD set will provide you with everything you need to work efficently in Perl. Its not good if you don't already know some Perl, but if you are looking for a good reference book then this is it.
Rating: - Great Electronic Book
Great! You may have 6 best-selling O'Reilly books in 1 CD. Save time, save space and save money.
Before this, I owned another 3 Perl books for my web application. Sometimes when I forgot the syntax, I spend a lot of time to search it by finding the index and contents of the book. However, after buying this CD book, I can easily find it by the attached search engine and online index.
In addition, the bonus Nutshell book is a great reference book. If you think you are a Perl professional, I can say you still need this to save a lot of your programming time.
Rating: - Terrific reference, but ...
Terrific reference (read the other reviews for more details :-), but it could be great to get with such a bookshelf, "Mastering Algorithms with Perl" and "Mastering Regular Expressions". But well, with all that, we REALLY won't buy any other book about perl!
