Most books make Perl unnecessarily hard to learn by attempting to teach the
whole language, including its many redundancies, while ignoring the reader's
knowledge of related languages and concepts. This book makes Perl easy to learn
by teaching a strategically designed subset that's familiar to UNIX/Linux people,
and by capitalizing on their existing knowledge rather than ignoring it.
With this book, readers learn a carefully designed subset of the language called
"Minimal Perl", which was developed through five years of experience in training
software professionals at major corporations. It makes Perl more accessible
to those having UNIX/Linux skill levels ranging from elementary to expert, by
capitalizing on their existing knowledge of important utilities (grep, awk),
or essential concepts (filters, command substitution, looping). Dozens of detailed
programming examples are shown, drawn from contemporary application areas such
as system administration, networking, web development, databases, finance, HTML,
CGI, and text analysis.
Learn how to:
- Exploit the power of Perl while avoiding its complexities
- Capitalize on your existing UNIX/Linux skills to learn Perl quickly and
easily
- Write simple yet powerful programs that do important data processing tasks
