Product Description

Review

'This book lives up to everything I have come to expect of the O'Reilly Nutshell series, being both technically accurate and highly readable. I would recommend it to anyone needing to extend or embed perl as well as to those wishing to move to more complex perl programming than they might be doing at the moment.' - Tom Hughes, Cvue, January 2000


Product Description

So you've learned Perl, but you're getting frustrated. Perhaps you've taken on a larger project than the ones you're used to. Or you want to add a user interface or a networking component. Or you need to do more complicated error trapping. Whether your knowledge of Perl is casual or deep, this book will make you a more accomplished programmer. Here you can learn the complex techniques for production-ready Perl programs. This book explains methods for manipulating data and objects that may have looked like magic before. Furthermore, it sets Perl in the context of a larger environment, giving you the background you need for dealing with networks, databases, and GUIs. The discussion of internals helps you program more efficiently and embed Perl within C or C within Perl. Major topics covered include: Practical use of packages and classes (object-oriented programming); Complex data structures; Persistence (e.g., using a database); Networking; Graphical interfaces, using the Tk toolkit; Interaction with C language functions; Embedding and extending the Perl interpreter In addition, the book patiently explains all sorts of language details you've always wanted to know more about, such as the use of references, trapping errors through the eval operator, non-blocking I/O, when closures are helpful, and using ties to trigger actions when data is accessed. You will emerge from this book a better hacker, and a proud master of Perl.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book unlocks undiscovered 'Perl Doors', 30 Nov 2000
If you think you know a bit about perl after reading through 'Learning Perl' - then this book will open your eyes to a whole new method of working.

Written in a fresh and easy to read format, the author gets straight to the point with well chosen code snippets.

It won't show you how to write complete 'flashy' programs, but it will train you into a more methodical and rational habit.

A recommended book if you are hungry for more, or constantly stare at perl scripts and think 'Why did they do that?'

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent buy - the book you'll come back to., 31 Jan 2000
By A Customer
Like many Perl coders I've got a fair few perl books, including the cookbook. However this is the one I keep coming back to time and time again. If you want to know how to do OO programming, network coding build TCP servers, database manipulation etc, then this is the book for you. The cookbook gives you stuff to copy and paste - this book allows you to create your own unique and new recipes from scratch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully readable and redolent with examples !, 4 Nov 1997
By A Customer
I've been playing with Perl (where playing I guess is the operative word) for about 6 years now.

That means I've read -- or tried to read -- what have been rated as some of the best books on Perl. But I've read them intermittently, as I do all technical works: a bit here, a bit there, pause a bit, try a bit of code, look up a chapter... etc.

This book was different. Within 12 hours of getting it, I had read continuously through to the end of Chapter 7 (120+ pages), taking it all in voraciously. Somehow, this has picked up on every important cranny in the language I had skipped over as "too hard" or "too confusing" -- with all deference to Larry, Tom and Randal.. It hits the spot with examples just where I need them, and with concepts and analogies that clicked into place beautifully.

If you know about pointers, but puzzle about refs and typeglobs and $$this and \$that and *somethingelse, if talk of aliases, closures, and variable suicide have made you feel inadequate... if the works of modules, objects and stuff like that still has you confused, this book is for you.

The only problem: I used to think of myself as a tech writer... they still pay me for it. Now I just feel inadequate. But I'm learning.
