    About this ebook

    With a worldwide community of users and more than a million dedicated programmers, Perl has proven to be the most effective language for the latest trends in computing and business.

    Every programmer must keep up with the latest tools and techniques. This updated version of Advanced Perl Programming from O'Reilly gives you the essential knowledge of the modern Perl programmer. Whatever your current level of Perl expertise, this book will help you push your skills to the next level and become a more accomplished programmer.

    O'Reilly's most high-level Perl tutorial to date, Advanced Perl Programming, Second Edition teaches you all the complex techniques for production-ready Perl programs. This completely updated guide clearly explains concepts such as introspection, overriding built-ins, extending Perl's object-oriented model, and testing your code for greater stability.

    Other topics include:

    • Complex data structures
    • Parsing
    • Templating toolkits
    • Working with natural language data
    • Unicode
    • Interaction with C and other languages
    In addition, this guide demystifies once complex topics like object-relational mapping and event-based development-arming you with everything you need to completely upgrade your skills.

    Praise for the Second Edition:

    "Sometimes the biggest hurdle to problem solving isn't the subject itself but rather the sheer number of modules Perl provides. Advanced Perl Programming walks you through Perl's TMTOWTDI ("There's More Than One Way To Do It") forest, explaining and comparing the best modules for each task so you can intelligently apply them in a variety of situations." --Rocco Caputo, lead developer of POE

    "It has been said that sufficiently advanced Perl code is indistinguishable from magic. This book of spells goes a long way to unlocking those secrets. It has the power to transform the most humble programmer into a Perl wizard." --Andy Wardley

    "The information here isn't theoretical. It presents tools and techniques for solving real problems cleanly and elegantly." --Curtis 'Ovid' Poe

    " Advanced Perl Programming collects hard-earned knowledge from some of the best programmers in the Perl community, and explains it in a way that even novices can apply immediately." --chromatic, Editor of Perl.com

    Simon Cozens

    Simon Cozens is fascinated by the subject of shame, having examined it through Western eyes, but also seen its cultural effects in Japan where he worked as a missionary. Significantly, he has worked shame issues through in his own life. He lectures in cultural anthropology at the Worldview Centre for Intercultural Studies in Tasmania, and preaches and leads workshops on shame. Previously he was a church planter with WEC International. This book reflects his passion to help the shame-prone to find grace and a home.

      Not well presented and not useful as a direct reference the Learning Perl Objects, Reference & Modules is more useful. Maybe I will revisit this someday and see how I still feel about it.
    • 4/5
      A few days ago, I was relocating my library to a different room. As I moved each book, I glanced at the cover, and for some, briefly recalled passages I enjoyed from the book. I came across one claiming to be the grand-daddy of all Perl books. It made me grin, though, as, were you to ask me, the “grand-daddy of all Perl books” wouldn’t be this one, with the word PERL spelled all in caps, but instead, rather, the book written by the creator of Perl.This book, written by Larry Wall (et al.) and published by O’Reilly, is entitled Programming Perl. If it were a course in college, it would be Perl 202. Perl 101, of course, would be Schwartz’ (et al.) Learning Perl.If that wasn’t enough, there’s always Perl 303: Advanced Perl Programming, this edition by Simon Cozens.It’s hard to imagine needing anything beyond the Llama and the Camel book (as Learning and Programming Perl are oft called, respectively), but if you are like me, and you have this insatiable urge to learn as much about Perl as you possibly can, at least until they revolutionize the language with the adventual release of Perl 6, then you’ll want to devour any book that has the words Perl and O’Reilly on the cover.I must say that while I am in no way affiliated with O’Reilly, I have a certain bias towards their books, always seeking out an O’Reilly book on a new computer or technical subject before I descend into the madness of lesser tech publishers. Were I to write a tech book, I would hope that O’Reilly would accept it into their folds. Then I’d know I’ve made it.Advanced Perl Programming goes above and beyond what you’ve learned in the past two books, giving you all manner of tools for all manner of problems. If you thought Perl was a Swiss army chainsaw before, get ready to find even more gadgets tucked inside. And don’t forget CPAN, the source for popular, useful, and clever (though not necessarily all at once) Perl modules. Cozens covers the highlights of these, including several he has written himself (which turn out to be, for the most part, useful; However, Maypole has be all but supplanted by the more modern Catalyst).When I read through O’Reilly’s library of Perl books, it’s more than just reading about a programming language (one that I speak almost as well as English), but it’s also a look at history, culture, and all that other stuff you get when there are humans attached to the subject matter.If you like me have a yen for Perl, and you’ve gotten past the Llama and the Camel, and have found yourself irked at lesser publishers publishing lesser Perl books, then get this (and others!) great Perl title, and start your advanced programming, and make the world a better, Perlish place.
