Camel book (Book)

Type: book

The "Camel Book," officially titled "Programming Perl," is the definitive guide to the Perl programming language, co-authored by Larry Wall and me.
The Story of the First Edition
The collaboration on the first edition began with a post I made to the Perl mailing list. I knew the new features of Perl 3 and offered to help Larry Wall create some online documentation.
This offer led to a private email conversation with Larry. During our discussion, "Ambar" from O'Reilly & Associates suggested that the project should be a published book rather than just online documentation.
Larry and I continued our collaboration via email. We eventually met in person for the first time when Larry was visiting a relative in Salem, Oregon, and I joined him for the visit. This meeting solidified our partnership and the work on the first edition of the Camel Book began in earnest.

These facts are as Randal recalls them, but much time has passed for most of this. If you find a factual error, please email realmerlyn@gmail.com.
