Having a copy myself, I'm not so sure.  Once I twigged perldoc, and the
way the eletronic manual is organized, I started using that instead.

If I'm programing perl, I've got a computer with perldoc.  I may not
have Programming Perl.

Of course, I don't mind eletronic docs for reference, but others may.
