Perl Power!: A JumpStart Guide to Programming with Perl 5

Michael Schilli

Preface

About the book

After the two successful years that this book has been available in German-speaking countries, the publishers decided to translate it into English and allow me the opportunity to address not only my German countrymen but savvy Perl programmers throughout the world!

This book has come a long way since it was first published: it was originally called Effektives Programmieren mit Perl 5, but when, about one year after the first edition was published, Joseph N. Hall's excellent Effective Programming with Perl 5 entered the international arena, this book was renamed GoTo Perl 5 - and now for the English edition, it has become Perl Power! - a happy coincidence, as everyone who works with me at aol.com is well aware of my constant bragging that 'Nothing's impossible, if you got the power of Perl!'

In order to comply with international rules, we have adapted all of the examples to British and American standards.

What this book covers

This book is intended to introduce Perl to the huge number of beginners and intermediate developers who need to use Perl to develop Internet applications, and who want to get up to speed quickly.

The comprehensive introductory chapter provides a quick start for all users new to Perl. The detailed description of object-oriented programming with Perl which follows then allows intermediate Perl programmers to get up to speed with the latest features of the language. Exercises demonstrating commonly encountered problems and providing ready-to-use solutions encourage the reader to actively write programs and to speed up the learning process.

As the use of freely available modules (included on the CD that accompanies the book) dramatically accelerates the development of Perl applications, the book provides guidance on locating the most relevant modules for common programming tasks and illustrates the use of many of these in detail. The book covers a wide variety of practical topics, including Utilities (calendar calculations, drawing charts), Internet Clients (retrieving pages from the Web, extracting HTML information, polling newsgroups and mail hosts, FTP/Telnet clients), CGI Programming (shopping carts) and graphical user interfaces with Perl/Tk.

Acknowledgments

First and foremost, I would like to thank Larry Wall for creating Perl, and to state my admiration for all of the dedicated people in the Perl5 Porters group, who are doing a great job in constantly improving its implementation.

I'd like to thank Steve Temblett, Fiona Kinnear, Julie Knight, and the entire Addison Wesley team in the UK for pulling this off, Hans-Dieter Rauschner for his great work and for his efforts to have me convert everything to international standards, and, of course, Thomas Wehren from Addison-Wesley Germany, who contacted me originally to write a book about Perl.

And, naturally, none of the success I have recently experienced would have happened without the tireless support of my loving wife Angelika. Yeah, Baby!
