Summary: This is not a book for first time Commerce setups....
Comment: This book is based solely on the program that comes on CD-Rom with the book. So before you will understand what the book is talking about you have to install the files on your server. The book makes most of the installation part a huge guessing game. When you finally get it installed, check if it works. If your lucky you won't have to call your Hosting Service to have any little extra services turned on just to get the program running. Now that you have it WORKING right and you move on to the rest of the book, your stuck with a very unattractive web site. Help on customizing this cgi is another guessing game. All in all I say this book was very vage and really doesnt get down to the nitty gritty on web commerce. It's almost as if they are trying to get you to use thier program for some reason, which by the way is out dated and you'll have to download a newer version online.

Summary: Miracles - no, Solutions Yes
Comment: If you do not already understand the basics of PERL programming, web server operations, and CGI, this book might help you and it may just confuse you. If you do already understand these things pretty well, then the book is both enlightening and entertaining. I downloaded the unix software first, and had it running under apache on Windows 98 in about 5 minutes. I was so impressed with the quality and flexibility of the code, I decided to buy the book just to show my support, and pick up the helpful hints and insightful commentary that Gunther, et al have on the web, ecommerce, and programming in general. Well, well done!

Summary: Need more setup information for Windows 95
Comment: I think that this book could be great if they can include how can you make the setup for the different plataforms (W95,Unix). Also the free versions of Perl can be on the CD. You don't have support for any question that you have, and I think you won't have it. I want to share information in how to setup this program with Windows 95 users.
