Perl is one of the most important and powerful languages available today, and Professional Perl Programming offers an in-depth guide to exploiting some of its best features. With a densely packed tutorial straight from the experts, it is suitable for any experienced developer who wants to get more from this language.
Provides fully working examples of problems and applications most people write in Perl--all examples used in this book come from the Web and the author's own vast code library. No other book has thousands of lines of annotated code--serves as a memory jogger, a source for new ideas, a solutions gold mine, as well as a stepping stone to learning the semantics and specifics of the language. Cut-and-paste code on CD--contains all the code and applications from the book in a simple chapter-by-chapter directory structure. Descriptions of HOW the programmer tackled problems in line-by-line detail is provided with each solution. Variety of programs provided--Many listed will work on both Windows and Unix machines without any modifications, and some will contain specific lines of code for running on Unix machines that are not necessary for the Windows platform.
The birth of new modules for the Perl scripting language is a regular occurrence, and the publication of an O'Reilly book about one of these modules is a sign of coming of age. Perl's DBI module, which facilitates the database-independent operation of Perl, achieves its rite of passage this month with the arrival of Alligator Descartes and Tim Bunce's excellent Programming Perl's DBI. Perl's DBI interface is maintained by Bunce and includes submodule interfaces to Oracle, MySQL, Sybase, Microsoft ODBC, and many other smaller databases. O'Reilly Perl book aficionados take note: this is the cheetah book, named for the animal that graces its cover.
The book is perfect for developers of Web sites running on Apache on Unix. Loyalties vary in terms of operating systems, Web servers, and scripting languages, but those who find their home in the Unix and Perl environments will find this book right up their alleys. The target audience is developers somewhat familiar with Perl and the Unix-based Web server environment, but you'll find the book illustrative even if your knowledge is sketchy.
Perl is not only the scripting language of choice for many people, but a powerful programming language that can be used to develop serious applications. Backed by numerous libraries, this language is capable of performing just about any task.
