Yeah.  And it's commonly called "the camel book".  Also,
O'Reilly pastes that camel image on just about everything it
does related to perl.  E.g., the image at top, as well as the
favicon.ico, at http://perl.com/ .

I guess it just shows how much perl I have to sift through to
get better at ruby.

Thanks!
