Product DescriptionPerl
is a versatile, powerful programming language used in a variety of
disciplines, ranging from system administration to web programming to
database manipulation. One slogan of Perl is that it makes easy things
easy and hard things possible. “Intermediate Perl” is about making the
leap from the easy things to the hard ones.Originally released in
2003 as “Learning Perl Objects, References, and Modules” and revised
and updated for Perl 5.8, this book offers a gentle but thorough
introduction to intermediate programming in Perl. Written by the
authors of the best-selling “Learning Perl,” it picks up where that
book left off. Topics include:Packages and namespaces
References and scoping
Manipulating complex data structures
Object-oriented programming
Writing and using modules
Testing Perl code
Contributing to CPAN
Following
the successful format of “Learning Perl,” we designed each chapter in
the book to be small enough to be read in just an hour or two, ending
with a series of exercises to help you practice what you’ve learned. To
use the book, you just need to be familiar with the material in
“Learning Perl” and have ambition to go further.
Perl is a
different language to different people. It is a quick scripting tool
for some, and a fully-featured object-oriented language for others. It
is used for everything from performing quick global replacements on
text files, to crunching huge, complex sets of scientific data that
take weeks to process. Perl is what you make of it. But regardless of
what you use Perl for, this book helps you do it more effectively,
efficiently, and elegantly.
“Intermediate Perl” is about learning to use Perl as aprogramminglanguage, and not just a scripting language. This is the book thatturns the Perl dabbler into the Perl programmer.
