Perl : BooksActivePerl with ASP and ADO
A programmer's guide to creating faster, more robust, interactive Web pages using PerlScript. PerlScript is an emerging scripting language that lets UNIX programmers write easy code for powerful and hot new Microsoft technologies such as Active Server Pages (ASP). Like JavaScript or VBScript, PerlScript is a "lite" version of a full-fledged programming language. Both Perl and VBScript programmers will benefit from the move to PerlScript because it provides cost benefits, superior power, and speed. This book provides a no-filler tutorial on PerlScript with plenty of concise examples that focus on using Active Server Pages (ASP) objects, and ActiveX Data Objects (ADO). It gives programmers the exact syntax for methods, properties, setting properties, database programming, collections, and data retrieval. CD-ROM contains ActivePerl plus all examples and scripts from the book. This guide walks through ActivePerl installation and configuration.

CGI Programming With Perl
This book is a step-by-step tutorial of how to create, use, and maintain Common Gateway Interfaces (CGI). It describes effective ways of using CGI as an integral part of Web development. Adds interactivity and flexibility to the information that can be provided through your Web site. It provides numerous real-life examples of CGI scripts and the source code for downloading from the book's support site. This is another book in Sams series of 'Teach Yourself X in a Week'. It, like the others, assumes some basic computing knowledge and builds on this with the use of numerous examples. The topic in this case is two-fold, both teaching about Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programming, as well as teaching you Perl to achieve this. The reason Perl is chosen as the language for this book is that it is often used in the real world for CGI work, due to its excellent string handling capabilities and compact nature - the typical fodder of CGI programming.

Perl & LWP
Perl & LWP sets out to unwrap the Library for the Web in Perl (LWP), which is a collection of modules that make it easier to access and pick apart Web pages (and FTP-accessible files, and outgoing e-mail messages) from within your Perl programs. The book succeeds wonderfully, not only in conveying the technical aspects of LWP programming, but in making clear the fun of doing work that's very well suited to Perl. He does a great job of explaining how LWP functions fit into Perl programs, and how you can use them to make reference to Internet resources far more easily than before. Burke's narrative takes the form of a guided tour in which he introduces his readers to aspects of the LWP modules one by one. Topics include how to program with LWP and Perl itself including HTML parsing, HTML generation and modification, manipulation of HTML forms, and the operation of spiders. This book has more of a tutorial tone than any similiar reference material on the Internet.

Perl for System Administration
As the topics move beyond file systems, user accounts, and process control, the tripartite division in the discussion breaks down. Treatments of TCP/IP and e-mail feature discussions of NIS, WINS, DNS, and nslookup. The chapters on directory services and SQL database management--while apparently digressive--are inserted tactically to enable elegant approaches to the more mundane administrative tasks of sending and receiving e-mail and managing log files to maximize their utility. Blank-Edelman's keen pragmatism shines in the chapter on security in which noticing intrusion earlier instead of later draws on many of the skills that are developed throughout the book. Five tutorials, in RCS, LDAP, XML, SQL, and SNMP, are included. Delightfully, this is one of Perl's and O'Reilly's best-written books.
