Mastering Perl made its way to the online bookshops (although it's not in O'Reilly's catalog yet).

Notice that Amazon has a new fangled URL, but uses the old 10 digit ISBN:

It's also at Barnes & Noble, which uses the new 13 digit EAN:

  You mean the Learning Perl Study Guide [theperlreview.com]? You have to buy that through me because it's not in the retail channels.

Shorter URLs like this [amazon.com] still work.
