-=head1 NAME
-
-perlbook - Books about and related to Perl
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-There are many books on Perl and Perl-related. A few of these are
-good, some are OK, but many aren't worth your money. There is a list
-of these books, some with extensive reviews, at http://books.perl.org/
-. We list some of the books here, and while listing a book implies our
-endorsement, don't think that not including a book means anything.
-
-Most of these books are available online through Safari Books Online
-( http://safaribooksonline.com/ ).

-You might notice several familiar Perl concepts in this collection of

-Perl book (which came later) is not completely accidental:

-=head2 A note on freshness
-
-Each version of Perl comes with the documentation that was current at
-the time of release. This poses a problem for content such as book
-lists. There are probably very nice books published after this list
-was included in your Perl release, and you can check the latest
-released version at http://perldoc.perl.org/perlbook.html .
-
-Some of the books we've listed appear almost ancient in internet
-scale, but we've included those books because they still describe the
-current way of doing things. Not everything in Perl changes every day.
-Many of the beginner-level books, too, go over basic features and
-techniques that are still valid today. In general though, we try to
-limit this list to books published in the past five years.
-
-=head2 Get your book listed
-
-If your Perl book isn't listed and you think it should be, let us know.
