Perl Programming for the Absolute Beginner


Book Description

Perl is an enormously popular scripting language that runs on many different operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X, and provides programmers with a robust and powerful programming language that is easy to learn, yet sufficiently complex to tackle just about any job. As such, it's a perfect programming language for those new to programming to learn. Perl Programming for the Absolute Beginner has been designed to teach you how to develop Perl scripts and to help you become an effective programmer, and teaches concepts through the creation of simple games. Whether you are an experienced programmer looking to learn another language or you are reading this book as the first step in your programming career, you will find that this book's games-based teaching approach makes the learning process a lot more enjoyable. You will also find that the knowledge you'll gain from developing Perl-based games will provide you with a strong foundation from which you can branch out and tackle more complex challenges.

Perl For Dummies


Book Description

In the days before personal computers, BASIC was the easy programming language to learn, and serious programmers learned FORTRAN or COBOL to do “real work.” Today, many people have discovered that Perl is both a great beginning programming language and one that enables them to write powerful programs with little effort. If you’re interested in discovering how to program (or how others program), Perl For Dummies, 4th Edition, is for you. If you already know something about programming (but not about Perl), this book is also for you. If you’re already an expert programmer, you’re still welcome to read this book; you can just skip the basic stuff (you never know what kind of new tips and tricks you’ll pick up). This reference guide shows you how to use Perl under many different operating systems, such as UNIX, many flavors of Windows (Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows Me, and Windows XP), and Macintosh OS 9 and OS X; in fact, Perl runs on many more operating systems than these. Here's a sampling of what Perl For Dummies, 4th Edition, has to offer: Installing Perl on various platforms Nailing down the basics of building Perl programs Working with text and numbers Constructing lists and working with them Creating conditionals and loops Delving into more advanced features such as operators and functions Reading and writing files and directories Using subroutines for modularity Demystifying Web server programs Creating your own Internet clients The Perl programming language enables you to write fully working computer programs with just a few steps. It’s particularly good at common programming tasks, such as reading and writing text files, but it also excels at reducing the work that programmers have to do. Perl For Dummies, 4th Edition, shows you how to do all of that and how to modify programs to your heart’s content. After all, one of the common phrases in the world of Perl programmers is, “There's more than one way to do it.”




Programming Perl


Book Description

Programming PerlThe Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Learn Perl Programming Step by StepTo begin with, we need to understand that Perl is not a programming language by itself, but rather a group of programming languages which are interpreted and dynamic. The family includes Perl 5 and Perl 6 and development of both languages take place independent of each other. While it is said that Perl is not an acronym, some refer to it as 'Practical Extraction and Reporting Language'.It combines the features of languages like C with shell script's ability to execute large sets of commands. It also has elements of awk and sed, which is largely used in command line scripting to manipulate text. Programmers can use Perl for developing a variety of software applications. However, Perl is an interpreted programming language. The code written in Perl is compiled into byte-code. The byte code is converted in the machine instruction when the program is executed. The feature makes it easier for programmers to run and evaluate Perl applications.From my experiences, it is best summarized as how my friend put it: 'Perl is what happens when Python and shell scripting had a child'. Although, to be fair, Perl first appeared in the 1980's and is older than Python, one can't blame the person for thinking like that. Perl was once regarded as the 'Swiss Knife' of programming language, a tribute to it's versatility. It had the ability to attract users who weren't that good at writing code or just starting out in code, as well as the power users who could build powerful programs.One of the biggest challenges in the 1990's was the growth of the World Wide Web and the large amount of text based information during that period. As one of the languages very capable of text manipulation and undergoing rapid development, Perl was suited to the task at hand. As a result it was one of the most popular web programming languages out there, even being referred to as the 'duct-tape of the Web'.
