Thanks for this.  Indeed they are, officially the book is being  
released on Friday.

I wrote about 2/3 of it, Matt Trout wrote about two chapters and  
helped me plan out the outline.  Eden Cardim (with a lot of help from  
Robert "Phaylon" Seladek) wrote chapter 12 on Reaction,  Jay Kuri  
wrote the Authenication chapter, and Jess Robinson the chapter on  
DBIx::Class.

Marcus Ramberg provided us with a foreword, and Jesse Scheidlower  
helped me a lot with the proof reading of the final stages of the  
book. A cast of many helped me with Chapter 11 (the Catalyst Cookbook).
