 Perl tutorial copyright:

       I really hate to have to say this, but recent unpleasant
       experiences have mandated its inclusion:

          Copyright 1996 Tom Christiansen.  All Rights Reserved.

      This work derives in part from the second edition of
      Programming Perl. Although destined for release as a man
      page with the standard Perl distribution, it is not public domain
      (nor is any of Perl and its docset: publishers beware). It's
      expected to someday make its way into a revision of the
      Camel Book. While it is copyright by me with all rights
      reserved, permission is granted to freely distribute verbatim
      copies of this document provided that no modifications outside
      of formatting be made, and that this notice remain intact. You
      are permitted and encouraged to use its code and derivatives
      thereof in your own source code for fun or for profit as you
      see fit. But so help me, if in six months I find some book out
      there with a hacked-up version of this material in it claiming to
      be written by someone else, I'll tell all the world that you're a
      jerk. Furthermore, your lawyer will meet my lawyer (or
      O'Reilly's) over lunch to arrange for you to receive your just
      deserts. Count on it.
