61. |  Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Publication Date: 27-MAR-2001 Insert Date: 27-SEP-2002 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Perl Debugged "This book was a joy to read. It covered all sorts of
techniques for debugging, including 'defensive' paradigms that will
eliminate bugs in the first place. As coach of the USA Programming
Team, I find the most difficult thing to teach is debugging. This
is the first text I've even heard of that attacks the problem. It
does a fine job. Please encourage these guys to write
more."–Rob Kolstad
Perl Debugged provides the expertise and solutions
developers require for coding better, faster, and more reliably in
Perl. Focusing on debugging, the most vexing aspect of programming
in Perl, this...

Perl/Tk is the marriage of the Tk graphical toolkit with Perl, the
powerful programming language used primarily for system
administration, web programming, and database manipulation. With
Perl/Tk, you can build Perl programs with an attractive, intuitive
GUI interface with all the power of Perl behind it. Mastering
Perl/Tk is the "bible" of Perl/Tk: It's not only a great book for
getting started, but the best reference for learning the techniques
of experienced Perl/Tk programmers. The first half of the book
contains the basics on how to use Perl/Tk, and then branches out
into advanced...

One of the greatest strengths of the Perl programming language is
its ability to manipulate large amounts of data. Database
programming is therefore a natural fit for Perl, not only for
business applications but also for CGI-based web and intranet
applications. The primary interface for database programming in
Perl is DBI. DBI is a database-independent package that provides a
consistent set of routines regardless of what database product you
use--Oracle, Sybase, Ingres, Informix, you name it. The design of
DBI is to separate the actual database drivers (DBDs) from the
programmer's API, so...

64. |  By: John Callender Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 22-OCT-2001 Insert Date: 27-SEP-2002 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Perl for Web Site Management
Checking links, batch editing HTML files, tracking users, and
writing CGI scripts--these are the often tedious daily tasks that
can be done much more easily with Perl, the scripting language that
runs on almost all computing platforms. If you're more interested
in streamlining your web activities than in learning a new
programming language, Perl for Web Site Management is for
you: it's not so much about learning Perl as it is about using Perl
to do common web chores more efficiently. The secret is that,
although becoming a Perl expert may be hard, most Perl scripts are
relatively simple....

65. |  Perl for System Administration Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 11-JUL-2000 Insert Date: 27-SEP-2002 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Perl for System Administration
Some people plan to become administrators. The rest of us are
thrust into it: we are webmasters, hobbyists, or just the default
"technical people" on staff who are expected to keep things
running. After some stumbling around repeating the same steps over
and over again (and occasionally paying the price when we forget
one), we realize that we must automate these tasks, or suffer
endless frustration. Thus enters Perl. The Perl programming
language is ideal for writing quick yet powerful scripts that
automate many administrative tasks. It's modular, it's powerful,
and it's perfect for managing...

66. |  CGI Programming with Perl, Second Edition By: Scott Guelich; Shishir Gundavaram; Gunther Birznieks Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 29-JUN-2000 Insert Date: 26-SEP-2002 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: CGI Programming with Perl, Second Edition
Programming on the Web today can involve any of several
technologies, but the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) has held its
ground as the most mature method--and one of the most powerful
ones--of providing dynamic web content. CGI is a generic interface
for calling external programs to crunch numbers, query databases,
generate customized graphics, or perform any other server-side
task. There was a time when CGI was the only game in town for
server-side programming; today, although we have ASP, PHP, Java
servlets, and ColdFusion (among others), CGI continues to be the
most ubiquitous...

68. |  By: Nancy Walsh Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 01-JAN-1999 Insert Date: 26-SEP-2002 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Learning Perl/Tk
Learning Perl/Tk is a tutorial for Perl/Tk, the extension to
Perl for creating graphical user interfaces. With Tk, Perl programs
can be window-based rather than command-line based, with buttons,
entry fields, listboxes, menus, and scrollbars. Originally
developed for the Tcl language, the Perl port of the Tk toolkit
liberates Perl programmers from the world of command-line options,
STDIN, and STDOUT, allowing them to build graphical, event-driven
applications for both Windows and UNIX. This book is aimed at Perl
novices and experts alike. It explains the reasoning behind
event-driven...

XML is a text-based markup language that has taken the programming
world by storm. More powerful than HTML yet less demanding than
SGML, XML has proven itself to be flexible and resilient. XML is
the perfect tool for formatting documents with even the smallest
bit of complexity, from Web pages to legal contracts to books.
However, XML has also proven itself to be indispensable for
organizing and conveying other sorts of data as well, thus its
central role in web services like SOAP and XML-RPC. As the Perl
programming language was tailor-made for manipulating text, few
people have disputed...

Perl soared to popularity as a language for creating and managing
web content, but with LWP (Library for WWW in Perl), Perl is
equally adept at consuming information on the Web. LWP is a suite
of modules for fetching and processing web pages. The Web is a vast
data source that contains everything from stock prices to movie
credits, and with LWP all that data is just a few lines of code
away. Anything you do on the Web, whether it's buying or selling,
reading or writing, uploading or downloading, news to e-commerce,
can be controlled with Perl and LWP. You can automate Web-based
purchase...

77. |  Beginning Perl for Bioinformatics By: James Tisdall Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 22-OCT-2001 Insert Date: 26-SEP-2002 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Beginning Perl for Bioinformatics
With its highly developed capacity to detect patterns in data, Perl
has become one of the most popular languages for biological data
analysis. But if you're a biologist with little or no programming
experience, starting out in Perl can be a challenge. Many
biologists have a difficult time learning how to apply the language
to bioinformatics. The most popular Perl programming books are
often too theoretical and too focused on computer science for a
non-programming biologist who needs to solve very specific
problems. Beginning Perl for Bioinformatics is designed to
get you quickly over the...
