Containing electronic editions of Perl in a Nutshell, Programming Perl (2ndEdition), Perl Cookbook, Advanced Perl Programming, Learning Perl and Learning Perl on Win32 Systems, together with a hard-bound edition of Perl in a Nutshell, this immaculate collection is a winner in terms of depth and value for money. If you're looking for something to do with Perl, it will be here somewhere.

Releasing books on CD-Rom is an intelligent move for O'Reilly, since it means that hints, tips and syntax guidance can be easily found, code snippets pasted straight into working documents, and multiple electronic bookmarks set and referred to in a couple of clicks.

Learning Perl's patient, levelled approach is perfect for the beginner, while the example-packed Perl Cookbook is an essential resource for intermediate users. True techies can cuddle up with Advanced Perl Programming and the excellent Learning Perl on Win32 Systems. There's something for everyone here.

Besides the complete and unabridged text, the package contains fully hyper-linked, cross-referenced indexes which are fully searchable, and an overall index that covers all six volumes in one easy-to-use file.

It's difficult to express just how good this package is. For this reviewer, nothing else on the market today can touch it. --Chris Russell

This is THE Perl book (or books to buy. I am a big fan of O'Reilly books and this one is no exception. Once you get used to reading the book online it is an invaluable source of information.

4.0 out of 5 stars Impressive book and excellent service from Amazon (again!), 8 Jan 2000

By A Customer

This package will see me through all stages of learning Perl plus I don't have to lug around a pile of books. Just a laptop and CD !!

If you can get used to onscreen reading then what better bargain is there than this. A total of six books in one package plus you can search all six at once !!! Now thats what I call magic :)

Also, yet again Amazon come up trumps - normally cheaper than anywhere else plus delivered within 2 days of ordering...
