This simple discussion of PERL4 describes the essential features needed to get going for general purpose programming
|
| i.e. it does not describe the special concerns needed for systems programming but is aimed at what you need for writing CGI programs |
| We reference in detail Llama Book: Learning PERL by Randal L. Schwartz and published by O'Reilly and Associates. ISBN: 1-56592-042-2 |
More detailed is the recently updated Camel book: Programming PERL by Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen and Randal L. Schwartz and also published by O'Reilly and Associates. ISBN: 1-56592-149-6
|
| Another useful book which lies between Llama and Camel books in completeness is: PERL by Example by Ellie Quigley, Prentice Hall. ISBN 0-13-122839-0 |
