I would agree.
Learning the vi Editor was the first Oreilly book I ever purchased and it has paid off in spades. Other UNIX skills you will learn such as awk, perl, regular expressions and the like will compliment and add to the power of the editor. It is also something you'll find on almost every system, unlike a gui/notepad like editor. You can find copies of "Learning the vi Editor" for as little as $2.95 at
Bookfinder.
Speaking of nano, I found it interesting that it was the only editor available during portions of Gentoo.
Cheers,
Keith

io::all::http
IO::All::HTTP(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation IO::All::HTTP(3pm)
NAME
IO::All::LWP - Extends IO::All to HTTP URLs
SYNOPSIS
use IO::All;
$content < io('http://example.org'); # GET webpage into scalar
io('http://example.org') > io('index.html'); # GET to file
"hello
" > io('http://example.org/index.html'); # PUT webpage
# two ways of getting a page with a password:
$content < io('http://me:secret@example.org');
$content < io('http://example.org')->user('me')->password('secret');
DESCRIPTION
This module extends IO::All for dealing with HTTP URLs. Note that you don't need to use it explicitly, as it is autoloaded by IO::All
whenever it sees something that looks like an HTTP URL.
The SYNOPSIS shows some simple typical examples, but there are many other interesting combinations with other IO::All features! For
example, you can get an HTTP URL and write the content to a socket, or to an FTP URL, of to a DBM file.
METHODS
This is a subclass of IO::All::LWP. The only new method is "http", which can be used to create a blank IO::All::HTTP object; or it can also
take an HTTP URL as a parameter. Note that in most cases it is simpler just to call io('http://example.com'), which calls the "http" method
automatically.
OPERATOR OVERLOADING
The same operators from IO::All may be used. < GETs an HTTP URL; > PUTs to an HTTP URL.
SEE ALSO
IO::All, IO::All::LWP, LWP.
