SynopsisProgramming Perl is not just a book about Perl; it is also a unique introduction to the language and its culture, as one might expect only from its authors. This third edition has been expanded to cover Version 5.6 of Perl. New topics include threading, the compiler, Unicode, and other features that have been added or improved since the ......, Perl is a powerful programming language that has grown in popularity since it first appeared in 1988. The first edition of this book, "Programming Perl, " hit the shelves in 1990, and was quickly adopted as the undisputed bible of the language. Since then, Perl has grown with the times, and so has this book."Programming Perl" is not just a book about Perl. It is also a unique introduction to the language and its culture, as one might expect only from its authors. Larry Wall is the inventor of Perl, and provides a unique perspective on the evolution of Perl and its future direction. Tom Christiansen was one of the first champions of the language, and lives and breathes the complexities of Perl internals as few other mortals do. Jon Orwant is the editor of"The Perl Journal, " which has brought together the Perl community as a common forum for new developments in Perl.Any Perl book can show the syntax of Perl's functions, but only this one is a comprehensive guide to all the nooks and crannies of the language.

Any Perl book can have a title, but only this book is affectionately known by all Perl programmers as "The Camel."This third edition of "Programming Perl" has been expanded to cover version 5.6 of this maturing language.
