The Essential Perl Bookshelf
Page history last edited by Darin London 1 yr ago
- Programming Perl, 3rd Edition: The Camel Book. Very well written. Much about computation in general, perl in particular. Written by the creator of Perl, Larry Wall. Contains the three attributes of a successful programmer:
- Laziness: devote a little time to makking a repeatable process, so that you dont have o do the process anymore
- Impatience: devotte time to making things run faster, so you dont have to wait around so long
- Hubris: willingness to believe that you can actually make the computer do something useful, without anyone getting hurt
- The Perl Cookbook: Contains many, many recipes for doing things in perl, using either perl, its standard modules, or CPAN modules.
- Perl Best Practices: The definitive standard for coding style which is readable and maintainable by you and anyone who should inherit your code in the future.
- Others which are great, but maybe not essential:
- Higher Order Perl: Contains a completely different perspective on how to write programs with coderefs, etc. A little advanced, but very exciting. I will use some examples from this book.
- Programming the Perl DBI: You can probably get by just using perldoc, but if you are going to do some programming against a relational database, you might want to check this out from the library.
- Network Programming with Perl: Good examples of how to screen-scrape websites, read/write mail processes, ftp, etc. within perl code.
