Summary: compress "6 Perl books" > "1 great CD"
Comment: A quantum leap in accessibility to the most popular Perl books available, "The Perl CD Bookshelf" brings together 6 of O'Reilly's finest into a reference with few peers. Perfect for the JAPH on the go, this CD provides the content from 11 pounds of paper molecules and ink, doing so with the natural flow of the original texts. A question a colleague asked me recently took 10 seconds to answer using this CD, an order of magnitude quicker than if I had picked up the physical book, found the same content, and retyped it into a mail message. I cannot recommend this compilation strongly enough: to paraphrase MIB Agent J: it is the "best of the best of the best, sir!"

Summary: Great Electronic Book
Comment: Great! You may have 6 best-selling O'Reilly books in 1 CD. Save time, save space and save money.
Before this, I owned another 3 Perl books for my web application. Sometimes when I forgot the syntax, I spend a lot of time to search it by finding the index and contents of the book. However, after buying this CD book, I can easily find it by the attached search engine and online index.
In addition, the bonus Nutshell book is a great reference book. If you think you are a Perl professional, I can say you still need this to save a lot of your programming time.

Summary: Only Perl resource you need!
Comment: This book and CD set will provide you with everything you need to work efficently in Perl. Its not good if you don't already know some Perl, but if you are looking for a good reference book then this is it.
