I found the book helpful in the sense that it pulled together things 
that were spread out amongst the documentation and went a little more 
into things than the current docs do. But it was a tutorial, I was 
hoping for more about how the the tool works so I don't have to keep 
going to the docs each time I need to figure out how to do something. 
There are lots of "cookbook" type examples on the site so I don't agree 
that's what's needed. Between the book and what's currently available on 
the site, I think the how-to and tutorial type of thing is well 
represented. I suppose you can never have to much of that though.

I especially have a hard time with using DBIx, that's probably a book by 
itself. The exception handling, as mentioned earlier, could use some 
elucidation. I also second more treatment of web services and SOAP. But, 
currently SOAP isn't supported as I understand it. I find flow control 
of the application confusing as well. This type of confusion might clear 
up if I understood the internals of Catalyst better.
