Mastering Perl

"This is the third in O'Reilly's series of landmark Perl tutorials, which includes Learning Perl, the introduction to the basics of Perl syntax, and Intermediate Perl, the guide to creating re-usable Perl software. By conveying Perl's special models and programming idioms, Mastering Perl pulls it all together to help you bend Perl to your will." "This book isn't a collection of clever tricks, but a way of thinking about Perl programming so you can solve real-life problems of debugging, maintenance, and configuration that you encounter as a working programmer." "Mastering Perl starts you on your path to becoming the person with the answers or, failing that, the person who knows how to discover and troubleshoot the problem."--Jacket.
