Data Munging with Perl
"Munging" is a computer term referring to the process of data conversion. Perl is particularly well suited to data munging and this programmer's guide provides advice on how to most efficiently manipulate data using Perl. After the manipulation of unstructured, record-oriented, fixed-width, and binary data is explored, the work moves into the realms of hierarchical data structures and parsers such as HTML and XML parsing tools. Finally, a demonstration of how to write one's own parsers for data structures is provided. The chapters are concise, the coverage is comprehensive, and the examples are plentiful and relevant.

Elements of Programming With Perl
Introduces the basic elements of computer programming using the context of the Perl language. Variables, loop control constructs, file input and output, regular expressions, references, nested data structures, string and list processing, modules, debugging, abstract data structures and object-oriented programming are covered. This is a complete introduction to programming using Perl, written so it's accessibler to those learning Perl as their first programming language. With examples ranging from useful utility to search the Perl FAQs to a web client for tracking and charting stock quotes to an object-oriented student grading system, this book offers you a practical, hands-on approach to learning programming the Perl way. Inside you will find: style and design issues and the software development cycle; Perl's data types, variables, operators, and control structures; Perl's regular expressions; references and nested data types; list manipulation.

Embedding Perl in HTML With Mason
Embedding Perl in HTML with Mason shows you how to create large, complex, dynamically driven web sites that look good and are a snap to maintain. You'll learn how to visualize multiple Mason-based solutions to any given problem and select among them. The book covers the latest release of Mason 1.12, which has many new features, including line number reporting based on source files, sub-requests, and easier use as a CGI. The only book to cover this important tool, Embedding Perl in HTML with Mason is essential reading for any Perl programmer who wants to simplify web site design. Learn how to use Mason, and you'll spend more time making things work, and less time reinventing the wheel. Mason doesn't aim to be the one true Perl-based templating system for building web sites, but it's led many programmers to abandon their custom solutions when they've seen how much easier using Mason can be. Creating a Mason-based site can be tricky.

Extending and Embedding Perl
An explanation of how to expand the functionality and usefulness of the Perl programming language, this guide delves into the complex issues of using real code examples from the Perl source. Detailed is how to use Perl from C programs, such as writing interfaces to C libraries, techniques on implementing Perl callbacks for C libraries, passing Perl hashes and arrays between Perl and C. Additionally, developers are provided with an API reference for the internal C interface to Perl and a reference on the typemap system. Sometimes programmers are required to go outside the core of the Perl programming language to C routines or libraries in order to get their task done. This work was written in order to help software writers relate Perl and C. Assuming that readers are knowledgeable in Perl, they explain how to embed C into programs. In addition they also address cases where Perl is not the best base language and explore the opposite case.

Genomic Perl
In this introduction to computational molecular biology, Rex Dwyer explains many basic computational problems and gives concise, working programs to solve them in the Perl programming language. With minimal prerequisites, he covers the biological background for each problem, develops a model for the solution, and then introduces the Perl concepts needed to implement the solution. The chapters discuss pairwise and multiple sequence alignment, fast database searches for homologous sequences, protein motif identification, genome rearrangement, physical mapping, phylogeny reconstruction, , sequence assembly, gene finding, and RNA secondary structure. Concrete examples and a step-by-step approach enable readers to grasp the computational and statistical methods. Combines intuitive derivations of most key algorithms, and thoughtful use of key references to illustrate solutions of main problems with a detailed example.
