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.

Perl From the Ground Up
This edition teaches the basics of Perl using lessons and real-world examples. It also provides an advanced treatment of Perl's use in information processing. Covering both UNIX and Windows 95/NT, the book begins with a description of the Perl language and gradually progresses to explain how it is used for Internet and Web programming. Appendices include the resources of the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network and a glossary of Perl terms. The book covers version 5.003. Perl is a freely distributed scription and general-purpose programming language that has become very popular as a systems administration and Internet programming tool. It has been described as the "Swiss-Army chain saw" of UNIX tools, but over time has become the language of choice among system administrators for quickly cobbling together utility programs. The dramatic popularity of the Internet and World Wide Web has pushed Perl into the forefront of professional programming.

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.
