Publisher's Note Covers the basic features of the Perl programming language, including command-line options, built-in functions, syntax, special variables, and regular expressions.
Industry Reviews "Right from the start, the assumption is that you are going to do something of value very quickly with the knowledge that you are acquiring. Accompanying the exhaustive list of functions, the description of the goals and functionality of each module keeps the book narrowly focused on what Perl can do for you, and what you can be doing with Perl right now....[A] truly complete reference."
