DESCRIPTION:
"Not the Best but not the worst Perl book" according to Perl Pro. A good overview of the perl language and what makes it so great. I still prefer the original - aka the camel book. The cd will help as it comes with the latest distributions of perl for most of the common platforms. Overall it is worth the price but there are better books.
Larry Wall's Perl combines the best features of C, sed, awk, and sh. The Perl CDROM is based on CPAN, the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network. You also get binary or source versions for Solaris, SunOS, Linux, FreeBSD, Windows NT/98/3.1, Mac, OS/2, DOS, Amiga, and Atari. This disc will also provide you with the sources to the latest version of Perl (5.005_03). Perl is an interpreted language optimized for scanning text files, extracting information, and printing reports. Perl compiles on over 40 platforms.
