As is the case with the Mac Toolbox calls ("when you see Inside Macintosh,
you'll realize there's no way that they can be condensed into a small
book."), neither could Larry, Tom & Randal fit all of the "useful and
important" Perl modules into "Programming Perl".

If you can afford it (or get your company to buy it; US $149 list), a great
resource for the IO:: modules, as well as many other well-used and highly
recommended Perl modules is the Perl Resource Kit, from O'Reilly & Assoc.
ISBN 1-56592-370-7.  It's a set of 4 books and a CD-ROM.

Unfortunately, there isn't a Macintosh/MacPerl edition yet, but we have
hopes, plans, desires in that direction...
