Web Client Programming with Perl
This book teaches you the basics of how browsers communicate with servers and how to write your own customized web clients to automate common tasks. It is intended for those who are motivated to develop software that offers a more flexible and dynamic response than a standard web browser. You'll learn how to: Automate repetitive queries on the Web Detect broken hyperlinks on your site Write simple "robots" that traverse hyperlinks across a site, and across the Web in general This book will be of interest to: Web administrators who need to automate repetitive tasks or reduce maintenance time UNIX shell programmers who want to interface their scripts to the Web Commercial software developers and consultants who need reference material for technical web specifications and proof-of-concept examples Most of the examples in this book use Perl, a versatile and portable language that is already familiar to many CGI programmers and UNIX power users.

Web Programming with Perl 5
It's more than a little bit intimidating to take on the task of writing an intermediate-to-advanced-level book on the subject of World Wide Web programming. The current level of innovation and the rate at which new ideas and techniques are being implemented on the Web is nothing less than exponential. Each new idea or new technique has the potential for adding to or enhancing the vast structure that already is the Web, or refining that structure, making it potentially less cumbersome and easier to understand. Some ideas are adopted as standards, and others fizzle and die lonely little deaths, for lack of use or interest. Keeping up with this process and attempting to deliver a book that will give you, the reader, a feel for which of these ideas and techniques seems to be the most usable, safe, and powerful, is what this book is all about. Topics: A Perl5 Overview and Tutorial; Security on the Web; HTML Forms; Client-Side Perl; Advanced CGI.

Writing Apache Modules with Perl
Apache is the most popular web server on the Internet because it is reliable. This guide to Web programming teaches you how to extend the capabilities of the Apache Web server. The book explains the design of Apache, mod_perl, and the Apache API. It then demonstrates how to use them to perform tasks such as: using mod_perl to vastly improve the performance of Perl-based CGI scripts; rewriting CGI scripts as Apache modules to give them full access to the Apache API; server-side filtering of HTML documents to embed special markup or code (much like SSD); enhancing server log functionality; converting file formats on the fly; implementing dynamic navigation bars; incorporating database access into CGI scripts; customizign access control and authorization to block robots or to use an external database for passwords. Included with the book is a detachable mod_perl quick reference card for easy lookup of mod_perl syntax and functionality.
