Summary

Whether their knowledge of the language is casual or deep, this book will make experienced programmers far more accomplished with Perl. This 2nd Edition is the most highly developed Perl tutorial and with it, programmers can learn the complex techniques for production-ready Perl programs. This thoroughly updated guide explains in a clear and concise manner how references, objects, modules, and packages are implemented in Perl. Further detail is provided in the areas of data structures, minimal matching, and new topics like threading and complex data parsing. It also covers such topics as parsing with grammars, threading, Unicode, extending Perl with C, and the future with Perl 6 and Parrot. Programmers with an intermediate understanding of Perl and the inclination to upgrade their skills will find this the most comprehensive and valuable resource on the market.
