Product Description
Book Description
Unmatched power for text processing and scripting
Product Description
Adopted as the undisputed Perl bible soon after the first edition appeared in 1991, Programming Perl is still the go-to guide for this highly practical language. Perl began life as a super-fueled text processing utility, but quickly evolved into a general purpose programming language that’s helped hundreds of thousands of programmers, system administrators, and enthusiasts, like you, get your job done.
In this much-anticipated update to "the Camel," three renowned Perl authors cover the language up to its current version, Perl 5.14, with a preview of features in the upcoming 5.16. In a world where Unicode is increasingly essential for text processing, Perl offers the best and least painful support of any major language, smoothly integrating Unicode everywhere—including in Perl’s most popular feature: regular expressions.
Important features covered by this update include:
- New keywords and syntax
- I/O layers and encodings
- New backslash escapes
- Unicode 6.0
- Unicode grapheme clusters and properties
- Named captures in regexes
- Recursive and grammatical patterns
- Expanded coverage of CPAN
- Current best practices

The Only PERL Book You'll Ever Need, 22 Aug 1996
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Programming Perl (Nutshell Handbooks) (Paperback)
This is by far the finest book I've seen on PERLprogramming, for the beginner and advanced programmer
alike. Loaded with references, helpful hints, and code
tid-bits, entertaining yet informative, and never too
verbose, this is certainly well worth the price.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful perl reference for programmers, 15 Aug 1996
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Programming Perl (Nutshell Handbooks) (Paperback)
This book DOES assume you already know how to program.If you're starting completely from scratch, this probably
isn't the book for you. But if you know C or some other
language and want to pick up perl with just the fundamentals,
read the first couple chapters of general info and then just
start playing. The function references in this book are
great.
4.0 out of 5 stars
One of two must-have books for Perl programming, 5 Jun 1996
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Programming Perl (Nutshell Handbooks) (Paperback)
The Quick Reference Guide alone justifies the price.Note that in Q3 1996 (or so) the 5.0 version should be
out -- many additions.
Listmania!
