book recommendations?

[Paul Evad <pe...@kudosnet.com>]

I know a lot of the good O'Rielly books are showing some age (1999 
publishing date). Anyone out there have a copy of "Writing Apache 
Modules with Perl and C", is it still relevant enough with the 
current apache mod_perl distro's to be worthwhile getting?

Suggestions on  good reference books to get? (I have most of the Perl 
library already).

Yeah, it still mostly is. Apache 2.0 and the accompanying mod_perl 2.0
will be a whole new ball of wax though, but they're not here yet anyway
(hey Doug, going to make a second edition for 2.0 I hope?). It's a great
book.

I found the O'Reilly mod_perl quick reference booklet quite useful at
time. Easy to carry around, packed with all the information (no fluff or
explanation, like the man pages), useful.
