Title: Perl DBI falls short of what I would expect from O'Reilly
Review: I liked it after chapter 3...chapters 1 & 2 had SO MUCH to do with DBM (which is NOT DBI) and db_file, that i thought i would scream! Nothing good until page 78...but then, IT IS AWESOME! in depth detail on DBI::Proxy which I have not seen elsewhere...BUT as of page 187, it goes back into "appendix mode" which we can get by typing perldoc DBISo--you have to ask yourself, are 109 pages worth the price? I bought it and i really think that even the AMAZON price was a bit steep to pay for this one.ALTHOUGH I love O'Reilly, they needed to get more in-depth for me and considering that we have the Camel, the Perl Cookbook and company...which are EXTREMELY in-depth.This is not a book which i would consider "O'Reilly Material"
Is the review positive or negative?
