How is this any different than the previous 5 editions? Have a look at http://www.learning-perl.com/ http://www.learning-perl.com/ where the author (brian d foy) blogs on the updates made. why should anybody care there is a new version? Its good to know that there is an updated version of the book. I've never read the book myself but its handy to recommend to friends/clients/etc that I deal with. And how is this hacker newsworthy? Not sure but perhaps the upcoming 4th edition of Programming Perl due in October is newsworthy? http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596004927 http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596004927
