Perl5 Interactive (2nd Edition), by Jon Orwant and published by Waite,
is hereby awarded a rating of 4 Camels on the Camel Critiques page found
at http://www.perl.com/perl/critiques/

Here's the capsule review included there: 

	Perl5 Interactive Course [2nd edition] 

	    by Jon Orwant 

     Now in its second edition, this book has finally lived up to what
     it was supposed to be -- technically.  It's still too heavy to
     tote conveniently, and the typesetting is lamentably far too busy
     for my tastes, but this is the publisher's standard -- and fault.
     It has been cleaned up remarkably since its botched first printing.
     Written by the editor and publisher of The Perl Journal, this book
     is technically competant and replete with good examples.
