Description
Perl is a natural choice for web services development due to its strong implementations of SOAP and XML-RPC. However, books on web services often focus on languages like Java or Visual Basic, leaving Perl programmers with limited resources. Programming Web Services with Perl addresses this gap by providing the necessary information for creating web services using Perl. The book introduces major web services standards such as XML-RPC, SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI, and shows how to implement Perl servers and clients using these standards. It also covers detailed references on both the XML and SOAP toolkits, explaining when to use one technology in favour of the other. With a focus on practical solutions, the book offers guidance on security, authentication, and scalability. Programming Web Services with Perl is ideal for Perl programmers new to web services, providing a comprehensive introduction to the subject.
