Product Description
The latest edition to the O'Reilly range of Perl manuals proves once again the mastery the company have when it comes to producing professional reference material.
As part of their desktop reference series, Perl in a Nutshell is everything programmers have come to expect: clear, concise and no-nonsense information on the subjects which matter.
Reminiscent of the Perl man pages, the book covers a wide variety of topics from a brief (yet useful) introduction to the language through a breakdown of the standard modules, to facilities including Tcl, Sockets programming, the LWP libs and even the Win32 interface.
Supported by a heavy duty index which makes finding the right piece of information a breeze, this 650-page tome is bound to see some serious action from any Perl programmer with a busy work schedule.
The fact that it bills itself as a quick reference goes some way to showing that Perl In A Nutshell is not a compact beginners guide--if you want one of those try O'Reilly's Learning Perl. However, for the workaday programmer who needs an elbow-side reference manual or the occasional coder looking for a memory jogger, this book is worth it's weight in gold.

Second only to Wall, Christiansen, and Orwant's 'Programming Perl' in the hearts of Perl hackers.
