> The book is "Perl 5 Interactive Course Certified Edition",

> ISBN 1-57169-113-8
> 
> From memory, it is listed on amazon.
> 
> Evaluation of the book, would likely best be by one of the PERL guru's
> on the
> mailing list, by viewing a copy of the book.
> 
> Also, I know that I have asked this before, but could someone please
> clarify the
> differences (including advantages/disadvantages) between using PERL
> and PHP, as
> front ends for databases, such as PostgreSQL? From what I understand,
> HTML code
> is needed, as web pages, to call the scripting language modules (PERL
> or PHP),
> which interface with the database.
> 
> If it has already been done on a web site, a URL would be useful, but
> also, any
> opinions of people on the mailing list, would be useful.
