商品簡介
The open-source language Perl has the advantage of being both ubiquitous and of still thriving in applications where older versions are in use. Writing for intermediate-to-experienced programmers who may have little understanding of this language, "Perl evangelist" Wainwright begins with installation and customization, then moves on to a primer for newcomers that introduces fundamentals of the language, including data types and variables, blocks, loops, conditions, subroutines, modules and packages, interpolation and regular expressions. The second half of the book builds on knowledge gained in the first, and deals with files and filehandles, debugging, generation and management of warnings and errors, and object-oriented programming. Two final chapters cover the advanced topics of processes and threads, integration of Perl with other languages, network programming and Perl's support for Unicode, locale and internationalization.
