Description
Perl remains the go-to guide for this highly practical language. First introduced as a text processing utility, it has evolved into a general-purpose programming language that helps hundreds of thousands of programmers and system administrators get their job done. This updated version covers Perl 5.14 and previews features in the upcoming 5.16, including support for Unicode 6.0 and regular expressions. It also introduces new keywords and syntax, I/O layers and encodings, backslash escapes, named captures in regexes, recursive patterns, and expanded coverage of CPAN. The book provides current best practices and is an essential resource for anyone working with Perl.
