One slogan of Perl is that it makes easy things easy and hard things possible. This book is about making the leap from the easy things to the hard ones. <i>Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules</i> offers a gentle but thorough introduction to advanced programming in Perl. Written by the authors of the best-selling <i>Learning Perl</i>, this book picks up where that book left off. Topics include: <ul><li>Packages and namespaces</li> <li>References and scoping</li> <li>Manipulating complex data structures</li> <li>Object-oriented programming</li> <li>Writing and using modules</li> <li>Contributing to CPAN</li></ul> Following the successful format of <i>Learning Perl</i>, each chapter in the book is designed to be small enough to be read in just an hour or two, ending with a series of exercises to help you practice what you've learned. To use the book, you just need to be familiar with the material in <i>Learning Perl</i> and have ambition to go further. Perl is a different language to different people. It is a quick scripting tool for some, and a fully-featured object-oriented language for others. It is used for everything from performing quick global replacements on text files, to crunching huge, complex sets of scientific data that take weeks to process. Perl is what you make of it. But regardless of what you use Perl for, this book helps you do it more effectively, efficiently, and elegantly. <i>Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules</i> is about learning to use Perl as a programming language, and not just a scripting language. This is the book that separates the Perl dabbler from the Perl programmer. 83614 2003 Learning Perl Objects, References, and Modules total:3|5:0|4:2|3:1|2:0|1:0| 3 11 17 0 3 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Fri Nov 13 12:05:37 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 12:05:37 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 25 07:56:19 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 07:56:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 27 14:32:18 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 27 14:32:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Apr 24 11:31:18 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 24 11:31:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 22 08:41:02 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 08:41:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Apr 20 12:37:34 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 12:37:34 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Mar 03 10:33:55 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 03 10:33:55 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 15 22:46:46 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 15 22:46:46 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 08 19:58:02 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 08 19:58:02 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Aug 27 12:48:27 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 27 12:48:27 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Jul 08 08:33:22 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 08 08:33:42 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Mar 30 23:12:22 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 30 23:12:22 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 07 01:09:50 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 07 01:10:01 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat Mar 01 05:33:06 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 01 05:33:06 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Feb 14 07:02:41 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 14 07:02:41 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Oct 16 17:24:14 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 16 17:24:14 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Sat Sep 29 22:27:54 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 29 22:27:54 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=86632
