Perl -- Weapon of Choice for Admins and Programmers
by Lawrence D.P. Miller
http://click.unixreview.email-publisher.com/maaaBXyaaUaVla2siHBb/
Systems administrators are like small-town sheriffs in horror movies -- 
they like things nice and quiet, but it never stays that way for long. 
Programmers, on the other hand, are much more like movie serial killers 
-- 
they believe what they do is the highest form of art, and they're not 
satisfied until they receive proper recognition. In the post dotcom 
era, 
however, more and more admins and programmers find themselves being 
asked 
to perform double duty. How do we bridge the gap and support 
goal-oriented 
sys admins as well as stylish coders? With Perl.

The latest addition to O'Reilly's "must-have" references is Network 
Security 
with OpenSSL. The book covers pretty much all you'd ever need to know 
about 
using OpenSSL in your programs. 

Localizing Open Source Software
by Sean M. Burke

Native speakers of English are in the minority of computer users 
worldwide. 
If you think that you've got it rough just trying to remember all the 
switches 
to ls, think about the hundreds of millions of people who put up with 
the 
headache of dealing with applications whose interfaces are not 
localized 
(i.e., translated) into their native languages. It's a bad situation, 
but 
open source software can make it better. (reprinted with permission
