Disappointed to see MRE is PDF, not HTML, June 20 2005
I am a happy owner of Versions 1 and 3 of Perl CD Bookshelf. I finally decided to purchase a copy of Version 4 in order to have access to Perl Cookbook 2nd edition, Learning Perl Objects, and Mastering Regular Expressions, 2nd edition (I already owned the first edition of MRE in hardcopy book form).
I was quite disappointed to find that MRE 2nd edition is in PDF format, not HTML. This is a departure from every other book on these three editions of the Perl CD Bookshelf, and makes it significantly less useful, in my opinion.
One of the features I use extensively on the other CD's is the master index, with links to all books on the CD. The master index on Version 4 does not include any links to MRE 2nd edition. The search engine also does not include any capability to include MRE in its results.
I did not see any mention of this change in the promotional material about Version 4, making this loss feel like somewhat of a bait and switch.

Same here. I only just realised there was a new version, but it is lacking those three books which aren't old at all. Perl & XML is a must.
I will just buy "Mastering Regular Expressions" seperately and I have the latest cookbook too.
Poor show O'reilly.
Perl CD Bookshelf, Version 4.0 Review, February 26 2004
Having purchased Perl CD Bookshelf version 2.0 and version 3.0, I was just about to order version 4.0 when I noticed that version 4.0 appears to have eliminated three very valuable books, namely "Perl and XML", "Perl and LWP", and "Mastering Perl/TK". In my opinion this is a giant step backwards. I'll stick with version 3.0 rather than lose these three books.

Media reviews
"For anyone who uses Perl on a regular basis, the convenience of having such an online reference is well worth the cost. Consultants who have to carry reference material about witht hem should find this, and other CD reference libraries in the series, a boon."
--Major Keary, Book News, March 2004
"The 'Perl CD Bookshelf version 4.0' is what every Script writer, System Admin and Programmer needs to have in their Library...I wish all tech books were like this."
--Brett Hoff, Pensacola Linux User Group, March 2004
