Go to Perl 5by neophyte (Curate) |
on Oct 18, 2000 at 20:01 UTC ( [id://37343]=bookreview: print w/replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
Item Description: Disregarding the title, this book is actually a book written in German aimed at the beginner and intermediate Review Synopsis: Go to Perl 5
potential readers:Since it is in German, everyone that is more comfortable reading German than English, especially beginners and intermediate users of perl.contents:
compact introduction to Perl in terms of syntax, string
manipulation, list manipulation, regex etc. introduction to OO complete with examples & excercises a chapter on modules and their use, especially:
a chapter on Perl/TK information on installing Perl a CD with the book containing a Perl as source, a binary for win32 (all slightly outdated by now in my edition) and all the examples from the book 3 stars out of 5
Fine to start out with. All examples and exercises are code that one might need in everyday computing. The auther even keeps an eye on security -w and use strict are not only explained but also used in the examples. I still use it alongside my Programming Perl (2nd) and Perl Cookbook.
