Learning Perl is often called the Llama Book because it has a llama on the cover. The book formerly known as Perl Objects, References, and Modules is often called the Alpaca Book, and Programming Perl is often called the Camel Book, for similar reasons. You'll probably run into these identification-by-animal terms again in the future. Note: The new version of the Alpaca Book is called Intermediate Perl, adding to the confusion of official names, and providing additional motivation to use the term Alpaca Book when you're trying to indicate the general book independent of its edition rather than trying to specify an exact edition of it. -- Chad Perrin [ CCD CopyWrite | http://ccd.apotheon.org ] "The measure on a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out." - Thomas McCauley -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
