well, we can copy o'reilly covers and deep link to them. i asked manning
also and i expect they will let us do this too but i haven't heard back
from them yet.  we should put these permissions on some sort of legal
disclaimer page at some point.

Dear Uri,

Thanks for your mail and interest.  O'Reilly grants you permission to
link to whatever Perl-related information on our site that might be
helpful or useful.  You also have our permission to copy the book cover
images to enhance the images locally on your site.

Good luck with the project!

Best wishes,

Cindy
