Learning Perl, better known as "the Llama book", starts the programmer on the way to mastery. Written by three prominent members of the Perl community who each have several years of experience teaching Perl around the world, this edition has been updated to account for all the recent changes to the language up to Perl 5.8.Perl is the language for people who want to get work done. It started as a tool for Unix system administrators who needed something powerful for small tasks. Since then, Perl has blossomed into a full-featured programming language used for web programming, database manipulation, XML processing, and system administration--on practically all platforms--while remaining the favorite tool for the small daily tasks it was designed for. You might start using Perl because you need it, but you'll continue to use it because you love it.Informed by their years of success at teaching Perl as consultants, the authors have re-engineered the Llama to better match the pace and scope appropriate for readers getting started with Perl, while retaining the detailed discussion, thorough examples, and eclectic wit for which the Llama is famous.The book includes new exercises and solutions so you can practice what you've learned while it's still fresh in your mind. Here are just some of the topics covered:
<ul>
<li>Perl variable types</li>
<li>subroutines</li>
<li>file operations</li>
<li>regular expressions</li>
<li>text processing</li>
<li>strings and sorting</li>
<li>process management</li>
<li>using third party modules</li>
</ul>If you ask Perl programmers today what book they relied on most when they were learning Perl, you'll find that an overwhelming majority will point to the Llama. With good reason. Other books may teach you to program in Perl, but this book will turn you into a Perl programmer.

Perl is a versatile, powerful programming language used in a variety of disciplines, ranging from system administration to web programming to database manipulation. One slogan of Perl is that it makes easy things easy and hard things possible. Intermediate Perl is about making the leap from the easy things to the hard ones. Originally released in 2003 as Learning Perl Objects, References, and Modules and revised and updated for Perl 5.8, this book offers a gentle but thorough introduction to intermediate programming in Perl. Written by the authors of the best-selling Learning Perl, it 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>Testing Perl code</li>
<li>Contributing to CPAN</li>
</ul>
Following the successful format of Learning Perl, we designed each chapter in the book 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 Learning Perl 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. Intermediate Perl is about learning to use Perl as a programming language, and not just a scripting language. This is the book that turns the Perl dabbler into the Perl programmer.

Learning Perl, popularly known as "the Llama," is the book most programmers rely on to get started with Perl. The bestselling Perl tutorial since it was first published in 1993, this new fifth edition covers recent changes to the language up to Perl 5.10. This book reflects the combined experience of its authors, who have taught Perl at Stonehenge Consulting since 1991. Years of classroom testing and experience helped shape the book's pace and scope, and this edition is packed with exercises that let you practice the concepts while you follow the text. Topics include: 
<ul>
<li>Perl data &amp; variable types</li>
<li>Subroutines</li>
<li>File operations</li>
<li>Regular expressions</li>
<li>String manipulation</li>
<li>Lists &amp; sorting</li>
<li>Process management</li>
<li>Smart matching</li>
<li>Using third party modules</li>
</ul>
Perl is the language for people who want to get work done. Originally targeted to sysadmins for heavy-duty text processing, Perl is now a full-featured programming language suitable for almost any task on almost any platform-from short fixes on the command line to web applications, bioinformatics, finance, and much more. Other books may teach you to program in Perl, but this book will turn you into a Perl programmer.

Learning Perl, 5th Edition

Randal Schwartz

This is the third in O'Reilly's series of landmark Perl tutorials, which started with Learning Perl, the bestselling introduction that taught you the basics of Perl syntax, and Intermediate Perl, which taught you how to create re-usable Perl software. Mastering Perl pulls everything together to show you how to bend Perl to your will. It convey's Perl's special models and programming idioms. This book isn't a collection of clever tricks, but a way of thinking about Perl programming so you can integrate the real-life problems of debugging, maintenance, configuration, and other tasks you encounter as a working programmer. The book explains how to:
<ul>
<li>Use advanced regular expressions, including global matches, lookarounds, readable regexes, and regex debugging</li>
<li>Avoid common programing problems with secure programming techniques</li>
<li>Profile and benchmark Perl to find out where to focus your improvements</li>
<li>Wrangle Perl code to make it more presentable and readable</li>
<li>See how Perl keeps track of package variables and how you can use that for some powerful tricks</li>
<li>Define subroutines on the fly and turn the tables on normal procedural programming.</li>
<li>Modify and jury rig modules to fix code without editing the original source</li>
<li>Let your users configure your programs without touching the code</li>
<li>Learn how you can detect errors Perl doesn't report, and how to tell users about them</li>
<li>Let your Perl program talk back to you by using Log4perl</li>
<li>Store data for later use in another program, a later run of the same program, or to send them over a network</li>
<li>Write programs as modules to get the benefit of Perl's distribution and testing tools</li>
</ul>Appendices include "brian's Guide to Solving Any Perl Problem" to improve your troubleshooting skills, as well as suggested reading to continue your Perl education. Mastering Perl starts you on your path to becoming the person with the answers, and, failing that, the person who knows how to find the answers or discover the problem.
