Product Description

Book Description
Perl is an immensely popular scripting language that combines the best features of C, key UNIX utilities and a powerful use of regular expressions. It has a wide range of uses beyond simple text processing and is commonly used for web programming - creating and parsing CGI forms, validating HTML syntax and hyperlinks - as well as e-mail and Usenet news filtering.

Perl is increasingly the system administrator's scripting language of choice and is used for file and directory manipulation, database access and a whole range of daily system operator chores.

From the Publisher
The book promotes the use of Perl as a programming language, encouraging the creation of legible and sensible programs so as to dispel the image of Perl as a confusing and obscure language. In other words: Don't worry, whatever your current experience level in the world of Perl, this book has something for you.

It covers both basic and advanced aspects of Perl, Apache modPerl and Perlscript for use with Wintel systems and stresses the cross-platform nature of Perl, with extensive examples and techniques.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good initially, a little incomprehensible later on, 5 Dec 2001
This book gives an excellent grounding in Perl, assuming little prior programming knowledge. The chapter on regular expressions is especially lucid and clear. For learning how to write standalone perl applications this is fine. It would be nice perhaps to have a more systematic summary of data structures and refererence syntax though. However once the book starts covering Perl applied to databases, oo-perl, cgi scripting etc
the book is suddenly written with much higher expectations of the knowledge of the reader. For CGI scripting the CGI scripting 101 by Jaqueline HAmilton is more comprehensive and easier to follow.
Nevertheless if your budget doesn't stretch to buying several of the o'reilly perl books this book will get you to a stage where you can develop quite complicated programs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice!, 30 May 2001
Very good book if you're interested in learning Perl/CGI. I've been very pleased with all of the Wrox books I've read (Beginning PHP4 is highly recommended). It goes through the whole language and everything is clearly explained. I'd say the best way too learn Perl/CGI :)
