Abstract

From the Publisher:Both aspiring and experienced Perl programmers will benefit from the expertise in this book, whether they are looking to develop serious applications, improve their productivity, or simply learn a more powerful and portable replacement for shell scripts. Whatever the task at hand, this book is an invaluable, detailed resource of the Perl language.Author Biography: Peter Wainwright is a software consultant and developer. He gained most of his early programming experience on Solaris, writing C applications. He then discovered Linux, shortly followed by Perl and Apache, and has been programming happily there ever since. When he is not developing software or writing professionally, he spends much of his free time pursuing his interest in space tourism and maintaining the ever growing Space Future website at www.spacefuture.com, which is based on a Linux server running Apache, naturally. Aldo Calpini is well known in the Perl community for his many important Win32 modules. His active participation on several mailing lists helped the Perl language grow in the Win32 community. His programming activity begun twenty years ago, and he still enjoys hacking every kind of computer he can get his hands on. He works today as lead programmer in an Italian Internet start-up company. Arthur Corliss has been programming since buying his first home computer a Timex Sinclair 1000 with a whopping 2K of RAM (which he still has). Having worked his way through several languages, Perl has become his most frequent language of choice at his latest venture, Gallant Technologies, Inc., a software development company. In his own time he continues the madness by working on the Curses::Widgets and Curses::Forms modules, which he authored and is available on CPAN. Simon Cozens is an Open Source programmer and author; he writes for the Perl Journal, www.perl.com, and other sites, and is also the author of Wrox Press' 'Beginning Perl'. He is a member of the Perl development team, and his hobbies include reading, typography and the Greek language and culture. Chris Nandor, pudge@pobox.com, is a programmer for OSDN, working on the Slashdot code. He co-authored the book "MacPerl: Power and Ease" from Prime Time Freeware, writes the Perl News column for the Perl Journal, and runs the web sites http://use.perl.org/ and http://news.perl.org/. Aalhad Saraf is in the Systems Software Group in IBM Labs. He has been with Linux since 1995. Perl, C and C++ are his favourite tools. Has a Bachelors degree in Electronics Engineering from the University of Pune, a Post Graduate Diploma awarded by the 'Centre for Development of Advanced Computing' (a scientific society of the Ministry of IT, Govt. of India). He has worked on microcontrollers/embedded systems and hand held computing devices in Syslab Automation and on an interactive gaming server for DishnetDSL - one of India's leading ISPs. He also teaches Perl, Software Engineering and Quality systems during his spare time.
