Perl : BooksAdvanced Perl Programming
This book covers complex techniques for managing production-ready Perl programs and explains methods for manipulating data and objects that may have looked like magic before. It gives you necessary background for dealing with networks, databases, and GUIs, and includes a discussion of internals to help you program more efficiently and embed Perl within C or C within Perl. Major topics include practical use of packages and classes (object-oriented programming OOP); complex data structures; persistence (e.g.. using a database); networking; graphical interfaces, using the Tk tookit; interaction with C language functions; embedding and extending the Perl interpreter; selected internals; use of references, trapping errors through eval operator, non-blocking I/O, and using ties to trigger actions when data is accessed.

Automating Windows With Perl
Perl is the perfect language for achieving Automation in Windows because it combines a painless Visual Basic style of coding with Perl's strength as a scripting language for process communications. The new multitasking and networking approaches with 32-bit Windows require a radical departure from previous programming techniques. This book, dedicated to the use of Perl as a language to automate 32-bit Windows, shows how to control many Win32 systems processes without immediate user interaction. The author explains how to use Perl scripts to automate tasks such as processing complex documents and customizing interactions by making a program look different to different users. Also provided are Perl scripts that will permit network administrators to automate tedious Windows maintenance tasks that range from automating backups to running a Windows system remotely from the Web. Topics include: Win32 Perl cron utility; using SMTP e-mail with Win32 Perl.

Beginning Perl
Perl is an immensely popular scripting language that combines the best features of C, key UNIX utilities and a powerful use of regular expressions. It has a wide range of uses beyond simple text processing and is commonly used for web programming - creating and parsing CGI forms, validating HTML syntax and hyperlinks - as well as e-mail and Usenet news filtering. Perl is increasingly the system administrator's scripting language of choice and is used for file and directory manipulation, database access and a whole range of daily system operator chores. Text takes the reader from installation, through the core language elements (regular expressions, references, modules, and the like), and on to basic applied techniques. Also covers how to access and work with databases in Perl and write CGI scripts to generate Web pages. Perl 5.6 is used in all the examples, and a handy reference section is included.

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.

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.

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.
