OK, so this is what you've been waiting for.  I just got authorization
from OR&A to post this.  One brief announcement, then we'll go back to
posting obscure Perl code.

The Book is officially at the printers, so it's a happenin' thing.

The Book will debut at OR&A's Uniforum booth in Dallas in a few weeks.
Larry and I will *both* be there to throw our scribbles on them.  But
the big thing at Uniforum is the _Signing Party_!

The Signing Party (with food'n'stuff) will be at the Grand K Hotel in
Dallas on Jan 22nd from 5:30pm to 7:30pm in an "unspecified large
room" (follow the gazillions of signs).  Larry and I are planning some
surprises, so if you can be there, be there.

Larry is also planning to attend Tom's Perl talk at Usenix.

If you *can't* make Uniforum, here's how to get a book direct from OR&A:

	Mail it to: 632 Petaluma Avenue, Sebastopol, CA 95472
	Phone it to: 1-800-338-6887
		CA: 1-800-533-6887
		local/international: +1 707 829 0515
	FAX it to: +1 707 829-0104

Ask for Programming Perl, by Larry Wall and Randal L. Schwartz.  Cover
price is $24.95.

It should also be showing up in bookstores everywhere.  Sorry, my info
doesn't have an ISBN for it.

If you ordered a book, and want it autographed by me (silly thought),
send it to:

	Stonehenge Consulting Services
	attn: Randal
	4470 SW Hall Blvd, Suite 107
	Beaverton, OR 97005

UPS or FEDEX is OK.  Plain mail will get there too. :-) If you're
kind, please include a few dollars for the return shipment.  If not,
you'll get it back anyway (but I'll grumble a bit :-).
