Perl & LWP
Perl & LWP sets out to unwrap the Library for the Web in Perl (LWP), which is a collection of modules that make it easier to access and pick apart Web pages (and FTP-accessible files, and outgoing e-mail messages) from within your Perl programs. The book succeeds wonderfully, not only in conveying the technical aspects of LWP programming, but in making clear the fun of doing work that's very well suited to Perl. He does a great job of explaining how LWP functions fit into Perl programs, and how you can use them to make reference to Internet resources far more easily than before. Burke's narrative takes the form of a guided tour in which he introduces his readers to aspects of the LWP modules one by one. Topics include how to program with LWP and Perl itself including HTML parsing, HTML generation and modification, manipulation of HTML forms, and the operation of spiders. This book has more of a tutorial tone than any similiar reference material on the Internet.
