Try looking in the least obvious of places, because things are always where you
look for them the last.

BTW, I was looking on Google for some Perl related stuff earlier, and found what
I wanted.. then realised I was in an online rip off of the Perl CD Bookshelf.
It's a Russian site. Not very hard to find, this exercise is left to the reader
:-)

Did you check your refrigerator already? According to a study a surprisingly
large number of people find their lost TV remotes in the frigde. Maybe your
book went the same way?

Please report those when you find them to <infrin...@oreilly.com>.

Otherwise, O'Reilly doesn't make their money, and I don't make my
money, and I don't get to write more books.

I'm not sure, but if you *BOUGHT* your originial copy, wouldn't getting
a friend to burn you one be legal under "fair use"??, like a backup
copy? That's the *FIRST* thing i didn with my Perl CD bookshelf, but I
do not let people know i have it, either the copy or the original. I'm
so tired of explaining why they can't have copies of my whatever...

Randal, can you comment?

That would very much depend upon in which country this backup is created.
For example in Germany creating a copy (of anything) for personal use is
legal provided you aquired the original legally. This even includes giving a
copy to your friends for personal use.
And no, Napster is not legal in Germany because those trading partners there
don't qualify as "friends and family".
