Synopsis

This second edition of Perl Cookbook has been expanded to cover not only new features in Perl itself, but also new technologies that have emerged since the first edition. Two new chapters have been added and many existing chapters have been expanded. In all, 80 new recipes have been added, and more than 100 older recipes have been updated to include new modules or techniques. As with the first edition of Perl Cookbook , this book covers data manipulation, file I/O, regular expressions, modules, references, objects, data structures, signal processing, database processing, graphical applications, interprocess communication, security, Internet programming, CGI, and LWP. In addition, this edition also includes: Coverage of Unicode character handling in Perl, particularly with respect to string manipulation, regular expression handling, and file I/O A chapter devoted to programming in mod_perl, an Apache module that embeds Perl into the Apache web server, vastly improving the speed of tasks that might otherwise be performed using CGI New and updated recipes to cover modules that are now included with the Perl core distribution A new chapter on processing XML, the worldwide standard used for representing and exchanging documents and information, independent of its final form.
