A Little Book on Perl

Visit A Little Book on Perl

This is a book on the widely used programming language, Perl. It includes both descriptions of the features of the language, and how they can be used to write useful programs. As is usually the case with books on programming, the examples are small and are designed to illustrate one or a few language capabilities. Larger, more complex programs often drown the features the book is trying to show, just by their size and structure. The goal of the book is to provide a clear and concise description of Perl for someone who has programmed in some other programming language and wants to learn to use Perl. In many ways, Perl is similar to other programming languages; in some other ways, it is very different. We point out, whenever it is relevant, the advantages Perl offers over alternative languages. Perl has been for some time the most widely used UNIX system administration language. It is now also the most popular scripting language for writing CGI.
