Book Description
Perl is not only the scripting language of choice for many people, but a
powerful programming language that can be used to develop serious
applications. Backed by numerous libraries, this language is capable of
performing just about any task.

This book examines the Perl libraries that are most interesting to
developers of professional, real-world applications. It covers web client
and server programming, manipulating data in databases and LDAP servers,
network and distributed programming, embedding Perl into web pages
(templates, HTML::Mason, HTML::Embperl, Apache::ASP, and PerlScript),
mathematical and computational applications, graphics and GUI programming,
and creating and manipulating XML.

applications. Building on a working knowledge of Perl, this book provides
clear and detailed coverage of its topics using illustrative examples. Even
experienced Perl programmers are certain to find something new in this book
about this genuinely extensible language.
