Programming the Network with Perl
It is no longer enough for today's software engineers to be able to program the computer and debug programs - the modern programmer needs to know how to program the network and debug communications. This book shows you how, using Perl. Originally created as a tool for System Administrators, the Perl Programming languauge has matured into a powerful, yet easy-to-use, general-purpose programming language. Widely used on the Internet, Perl is the programming language of choice when it comes to adding dynamic content to websites using the Common Gateway Interface (CGI). Its strengths - simplicity, power and adaptability - make it an excellent vehicle with which to study computer networking and to program computer networks in general. In Programming the Network with Perl, Paul Barry applies Perl to the study of tradiitonal computer networking topics. Includes an introductory tutorial to the Perl programming language for the non Perl programmer.

Programming Web Graphics with Perl
From access counters and log-report graphs to scientific plots and on-the-fly animated GIFs, graphics scripting is within the grasp of most Web authors. However, it is a poorly documented field. Programming Web Graphics with Perl & GNU Software shows intermediate and advanced Web designers how to use CGI scripts to generate dynamic graphic content and demystifies the manipulation of graphics formats for newcomers to the Web. Programming Web Graphics with Perl & GNU Software covers a narrow but powerful niche of Web development: on-the-fly graphics generation. It also focuses on the Perl language and its associated free code modules, making the techniques you learn in this book immediately available for free. Among the tools discussed in this book is the GD Perl module for working with GIF files, the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), GIFScript, and ImageMagick. Looks at the popular image formats on the Web: GIF, PNG, and JPEG.

SQL Server Administration with Perl
This book is about solving SQL Server administrative problems with Perl. Linchi has designed it to consist of a series of scenarios covering a wide range of SQL Server administrative topics. These are real world scenarios that you hear DBAs discussing on the SQL Server forums or newsgroups, and scenarios that DBAs run into in their day-to-day development or production environments. Readers will walk away from this book with two things: a DBA toolkit with well over 150 Perl scripts, and problem solving techniques you can apply to create even more tools for attacking other SQL Server administrative problems. Most of the sample problems are described and addressed in the context of SQL Server 7 or SQL Server 2000, but they are generally version independent. The next major release of SQL Server ("Yukon")may change some of the details, but will not invalidate the nature of the presented approaches or solutions.
