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...

43. | Perl Testing: A Developer's Notebook By: Ian Langworth; Chromatic Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 14-JUL-2005 Insert Date: 03-AUG-2005 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Perl Testing: A Developer's Notebook
Is there any sexier topic in software development than software
testing? That is, besides game programming, 3D graphics, audio,
high-performance clustering, cool websites, et cetera? Okay, so
software testing is low on the list. And that's unfortunate,
because good software testing can increase your productivity,
improve your designs, raise your quality, ease your maintenance
burdens, and help to satisfy your customers, coworkers, and
managers.
Perl has a strong history of automated tests. A very early
release of Perl 1.0 included a comprehensive test suite, and it's
only improved from...

Among the many different approaches to "templating" with Perl--such
as Embperl, Mason, HTML::Template, and hundreds of other lesser
known systems--the Template Toolkit is widely recognized as one of
the most versatile. Like other templating systems, the Template
Toolkit allows programmers to embed Perl code and custom macros
into HTML documents in order to create customized documents on the
fly. But unlike the others, the Template Toolkit is as facile at
producing HTML as it is at producing XML, PDF, or any other output
format. And because it has its own simple templating language,
templates...

Historically, programming hasn't been considered a critical skill
for biologists. But now, with access to vast amounts of biological
data contained in public databases, programming skills are
increasingly in strong demand in biology research and development.
Perl, with its highly developed capacities in string handling, text
processing, networking, and rapid prototyping, has emerged as the
programming language of choice for biological data analysis.
Mastering Perl for Bioinformatics covers the core Perl
language and many of its module extensions, presenting them in the
context of biological...

Given Perl's natural fit for web applications development, it's no
surprise that Perl is also a natural choice for web services
development. It's the most popular web programming language, with
strong implementations of both SOAP and XML-RPC, the leading ways
to distribute applications using web services. But books on web
services focus on writing these applications in Java or Visual
Basic, leaving Perl programmers with few resources to get them
started. Programming Web Services with Perl changes that,
bringing Perl users all the information they need to create web
services using their...

57. | Embedding Perl in HTML with Mason By: Dave Rolsky; Ken Williams Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 16-OCT-2002 Insert Date: 21-DEC-2002 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Embedding Perl in HTML with Mason
Mason doesn't aim to be the one true Perl-based templating system
for building web sites, but it's led many programmers to abandon
their custom solutions when they've seen how much easier using
Mason can be. It's a powerful, open source, Perl-based web site
development and delivery engine, with features that make it an
ideal backend for high load sites serving dynamic content. Mason
uses a concept called components: a mix of HTML, Perl, and special
Mason commands. These components can be entire web pages, or bits
of HTML that can be embedded in top-level components. Shared and
reusable,...

the first few chapters, and then moves on to practical issues of
Perl and in-depth discussions of more advanced topics. Later
chapters also delve into software engineering topics, with
discussions of modular code and object-oriented programming. CGI is
covered in one chapter, but it is not the focus on the book. The
book relies heavily on longer working examples and code, as opposed
to small snippets and code fragments, and each chapter includes two
to three smaller complete examples and one major one that
illustrates most of...
