Book Review: Programming Perl
The book retails for $39.95 in stores. You can order it from amazon.com for $31.96 (excluding postage and packaging) by going here. There is also a ton of reviews by other people available here.
This book isn't for everyone. If you're completely new to Perl this book will probably be a bit too much (unless you're one of those people who teach themselves a programming language by reading source code). It is aimed, I think, at the intermediate to advanced Perl programmer, and is more of a reference guide than a tutorial. If you're complete new to Perl you should get "Learning Perl" (The Llama Book) from amazon.com by going here.
The Table of Contents looks as follows:
- An Overview Of Perl
- The Gory Details
- Functions
- References and Nested Data Structures
- Packages, Modules, and Object Classes
- Social Engineering (deals with security issues)
- The Standard Perl Library
- Other oddments
- Diagnostic Messages
This book is truely a must-have for anyone who wants to get serious about Perl, especially considering the release of the Slashdot code in a week or two. :)) "
