in thread The Black Art of Perl Programming?

I find all of the suggested titles incredible boring, and I would have to surpress the urge to throw the book far away. And I really fail to see what's so exciting about "3D graphic programming with OpenGL, Renderman, and Perl" when "Writing Apache modules with Perl and C" doesn't do it for you. Both titles more or less have the same structure.

To me it looks like you rather want different subjects, not just fancy titles.

As for marketing Perl to the masses, no thanks. With the internet hype, Perl has attracted many new programmers, most of them of rather poor quality. I'd rather see them go.
