Review

Core Perl is an incredibly powerful programming language which has proved a major hit with the Unix and Windows programming community.

Add a whole heap of plug-in modules and it raises the language to a whole new level of usability and usefulness.

In this excellent volume Dave Roth (who, coincidentally, is a prolific Win32 Perl module writer) thoroughly documents and explains the standard extensions, gathering for the first time all of the information vital to squeezing the best from these freeware add-ins.

From ODBC to user authentication over networks and even playing .WAV files there's something here to excite the interest of anyone using Perl on a Windows-based platform, even to the extent that Roth explains the intricacies of using the Win32::API module to access DLLs directly--powerful stuff indeed.

Backed up by dozens of useful code snippets and examples this is such a useful book no self- respecting Win/Perl hacker should be without it.

"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
