Perl, now more than ever!

  • Complete coverage of Perl 5.
  • Bug fixes to existing versions.
  • Full treatment of CGI scripting.

Written with the same friendly tone and filled with practical examples, Perl by Example still focuses on bringing you practical information without a lot of fluff. From basic scripting to complex network applications, you'll maximize your learning with:

  • Hands-on tutorials, from simple reports to sophisticated Perl scripts.
  • One-to-one comparisons with other familiar languages and utilities.
  • Convenient reference for ongoing learning.

The enclosed CD-ROM contains distributions of Perl for Windows 3.1, 95, NT, and UNIX systems, plus multiple add-on libraries for all users.
