The Perl Pocket Reference is an invaluable reference for those who find themselves
frequently searching for a quick answer to a question or reminder of a syntax
rule. This handy, well-organized quick reference condenses stacks of Perl documentation
down to the most essential at-your-fingertips facts. For ease-of-use, convenience,
and price, this little reference is the first place Perl programmers look when
they need an answer quickly.
The Perl Pocket Referenc provides a complete overview of the Perl programming
language, all packed into a convenient, carry-around booklet. It is updated
for Perl 5.8, and covers a summary of Perl syntax rules, a complete list of
operators, built-in functions, and standard library modules, all with brief
descriptions. Also included are the newest Perl features, such as enhanced regular
expressions, multithreading, the Perl compiler, and Unicode support.
The Perl Pocket Reference, 4th Edition, is the perfect companion to the authoritative
books on Perl published by O'Reilly & Associates: Programming Perl, Learning
Perl, and the Perl Cookbook. This pocket reference will never make it to the
bookshelf--dog-eared and well worn, it will remain within arms reach of the
keyboard or tucked in a back pocket, where it will be referred to on a daily
basis.
