Programming Perl

Perl is a powerful programming language that has grown in popularity since it first appeared in 1988. The first edition of this book, Programming Perl , hit the shelves in 1990. Since then, Perl has grown with the times, and so has this book. The text provides an introduction to the language and its culture by authors including Larry Wall, the inventor of Perl, and provides a unique perspective on the evolution of Perl and its future direction. Tom Christiansen was one of the first champions of the language, and Jon Orwant is the editor of The Perl Journal , which has brought together the Perl community as a common forum for new developments in Perl. Showing the syntax of Perl's functions, the text provides a comprehensive guide to all the nooks and crannies of the language. It explains typeglobs, pseudohashes, and closures, and shows how they really work. It also goes on the explain why my is faster than local . This third edition of Programming Perl has been expanded to cover version 5.6 of this maturing language. New topics include threading, the compiler, Unicode, and other new features that have been added since the previous edition.
