100% of What You Need!
Of the multitude of languages available, Perl has emerged as the language of choice for Internet programmers and Web developers that wish to build dynamically interactive sites. Delivers the complete background professional programmers need to be conversant in Perl and create the best Web sites.

� Master the new Perl compiler
� Develop modules for Windows NT: Process, Mutex, Registry, and OLE ODBC
� Develop modules for Unix: ProcessMgr, SafeSig, and ReadKey
� Use Perl to run databases and CGI applications more smoothly
� Interface Perl 5 to Java, Visual Basic, and C/C++
� Explore dozens of prewritten programming modules

The enclosed CD includes the new Perl compiler, and source code for Perl including the central distribution, Windows NT/95 binary distribution, OS/2 binary distribution, and Mac binary distribution. It also contains numerous Perl modules -- Interface modules, Database modules, Net modules, Web interfaces, and Windows NT/95-specific modules.

From the Author:

Thanks for the kind comments...
Thanks for the kind comments. Ed and I wrote the book with the hopes that it would expose and release the power of Perl.

In this hurry-up-grab-shelf-space world of technical publishing, we were blessed with an editor who gave us time to do the job as best we could. As for the technical errors, they are generally due to translations of code to print font. I apologize for any confusions this has caused.
