Other Books
If you’d like to learn more about Perl, here are some related publications that we (somewhat sheepishly) recommend:
- Learning Perl, by Randal Schwartz and Tom Christiansen; O’Reilly & Associates (2nd Edition, 1997).
A tutorial introduction to Perl for programmers interested in learning Perl from scratch. It’s a good starting point if this book is over your head. Erik Olson refurbished this book for Windows systems, called Learning Perl for Win32 Systems.
- Programming Perl, by Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen, and Randal Schwartz; O’Reilly & Associates (2nd Edition, 1996).
This book is indispensable for every Perl programmer. Coauthored by Perl’s creator, this classic reference is the authoritative guide to Perl’s syntax, functions, modules, references, invocation options, and much more.
- Advanced Perl Programming, by Sriram Srinivasan; O’Reilly & Associates (1997).
A tutorial for advanced regular expressions, network programming, GUI programming with Tk, and Perl internals. If the Cookbook isn’t challenging you, buy a copy of the Panther.
- Mastering Regular Expressions, by Jeffrey Friedl; O’Reilly & Associates (1997).
This book is dedicated to explaining regular expressions from a practical perspective. It not only covers general regular expressions and Perl patterns very well, it also compares and contrasts these with those used in other popular languages.
- How to Set Up and Maintain a Web Site, by Lincoln Stein; Addison-Wesley (2nd Edition, 1997).
