I'm not sure that a boycott of the book would accomplish anything. Most people buying a programming perl book for the first time aren't going to be aware of a boycott and hence it will not do anything except provide a little satisfaction (well deserved I must agree)
Maybe a better way is to write a comprable book with all your knowledge and experience that gives programming perl a run for it's money or surpasses anything available for perl in the form of a book. Personally I would like to see some more higher level perl books that include things that don't seem to be available at the present time. Maybe something that takes Damian Conway's book, Mastering Algorithms, and Advanced perl programming to the next level or maybe combines some of these things. I know you could put together something that would blow them out of the water, especially if it was a collaborated effort from some of the top people on this site. I'd be willing to put time toward it, although I don't know how much help I'd be. What does everyone else think about this? What kind of support is there? I'd be very interested to know. Thanks for listening to my ramble, maybe something will come of it. In reply to RE: Should I organize a boycott of camel 3?
