That is all fine, but do realize that I already have one chapter devoted to
the toolbox online, and two more on the way.

        http://www.ptf.com/macperl/ptf_book/

However, that being said, I cannot possibly cover everything about the
toolbox in one book, and I think this would be a great use of the
FAQ-O-Matic at the the MacPerl Pages (http://www.ptf.com/macperl/).  That
is what the FAQ-O-Matic is for, shared knowledge.
