The World's Easiest Perl Tutorial--Fully Updated for Perl 5.8.8 and the Latest Development Techniques!

Perl by Example, Fourth Edition, is the easiest, most hands-on way to learn Perl. Legendary programming instructor Ellie Quigley has thoroughly updated her classic to deliver the skills and information today's Perl users need most--including all-new coverage of Web development with Mason, and MySQL database programming.

Quigley illuminates every technique with focused, classroom-tested code examples, detailed line-by-line explanations, and real program output. This exceptionally clear, easy-to-understand book takes you from your first Perl script to advanced applications using networking and interprocess communications. It's the only Perl book you'll ever need!

New in this edition:

  • Perl Programming QuickStart: makes first-time Perl programmers productive in just twenty pages
  • Using the Mason framework to build Web sites with less coding
  • All-new chapter on using Perl with MySQL databases -- plus an easy SQL primer to quickly get you started programming any database
  • New introductions to Perl in biology (bioinformatics), and Mod_Perl for Apache

Completely updated:

  • Includes many new and rewritten code examples, fully updated for Perl 5.8.8
  • Modern Perl 5.8x concepts and principles--and a great foundation for Perl 6, too!

More than 30,000 sysadmins, power users, and developers have used previous editions of Perl by Example to become expert Perl programmers. With Perl by Example, Fourth Edition, you can, too--even if you're completely new to Perl. Then, once you're an expert, you'll turn to this book constantly as the best source for reliable answers, solutions, and code.
