Simon Cozens has been mostly absent from the Perl community since he's gone off to mission work in Japan, but he writes in to tell us:
I've begun the process of putting my (very) old book Beginning Perl, first edition, into a wiki to allow it to be updated, corrected and annotated: http://books.simon-cozens.org/index.php/Beginning_Perl It's a very rough data dump at the moment and needs a lot of gardening, but hopefully it's still a useful resource.
Thanks to Simon for making this available to the community.
