Perl Index - Perl Book :
Perl! I Didn't Know You Could Do That...
by Martin C. Brown Paperback: 214 pages Dimensions (in inches): 0.65 x 9.04 x 7.51 Publisher: Sybex ISBN: 0782128629; Book & Cd edition (November 2000) This book / CD-ROM package shows how to use Perl to create effects for Web sites. Chapters contain step-by-step instructions for adjusting a specific configuration or running an add-on program that will perform a specific action. Coverage includes data and text manipulation, CGI tricks, networking, development tools, system management, and platform specialties. The CD-ROM contains ready-to-use Perl scripts, many modules required by the scripts, and Perl compilers for Mac and Unix.Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR Customer Reviews Reviewer: vik_olliver from Waitakere, New Zealand I'm familiar with Perl, but I'm no Perl guru. For me, the book had a lot of new material in it, including two items (XML::Parser and Archive::Tar) that I really wanted but didn't even know I should be looking for. It is full of twists and tricks for UNIX/Linux and Microsoft versions of Perl (can't comment on Macs as I'm not a Mac user), although it does not always make it clear whether a utility will or will not go under a particular operating system. The bits which are clearly platform specific are found at the back of the book in their own section, and the URLs are given for important sites. I kept typing modified examples in - just to see if things really were that easy - and I wasn't disappointed. I should really have got the CD out earlier and saved myself some typing :) This one is living on the bookshelf over my PC, and its CD is going in a proper jewel case. |
