[Catalyst] Has anyone read the book "Catalyst 5.8 : The Perl MVC Framework" yet?

[Leandro Hermida]

Hi again,

Kiffin I forgot there was a thread in August where people gave some
feedback/opinions on the currently available Catalyst books.  Have a

http://lists.scsys.co.uk/pipermail/catalyst/2010-August/025599.html

best,
Leandro
