[MacPerl] "MacPerl: Power and Ease" now in Japanese edition

[Rich Morin <rdm@ptf.com>]

I am sitting in front of a very handsome book entitled "MacPerl".  Well,
there are some Japanese characters following the title, but my keyboard
doesn't seem to have them (:-).  Anyway, the authors are our own Vicki
Brown and Chris Nandor, the text is translated into Japanese (interspersed
with bits of Perl!), and the paintings  used on the cover are the same
ones (by Delight Prescott) that grace the English-language edition.

All told, it's a very handsome product, published by ASCII Books, part of
ASCII, the large Japanese publishing organization.  It is available from
the normal Japanese book sales channels.

One of the more pleasant touches, in my estimation, is the fact that
almost _everything_ (including most of the quotes) has been translated.
Only the Perl code, the screen shots, and the disc's contents have been
left untranslated.

Aside from looking very handsome (IMHO), the book should be very useful
to Japanese MacPerl users, both prospective and current.  Here is the
relevant purchasing information:
