I think we are thinking the same thing.  My reason for asking is that I
learned BASH by taking apart, modifying and re-assembling BASH scripts
with an occasional consultation to man-pages.  Back then, I was doing it
as part of work.  My problem now is that I have no work that requires
PERL.  I can read books forever, but without a project to modify or
inprove or combine I have no homework.  My single user system doesn't
require many PERL scripts, so I want to view someone elses.  As far as
O'Reilly, I have the PERL CD library, I just want something to play
with.
Thanks,
