Programming
Perl by Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen, Randal L. Schwartz, Stephen Potter
Larry Wall wrote Perl and he wrote Programming Perl. Better yet, he
writes amusingly and well--all of which comes across in this latest edition
of the definitive guide to the language.
Like Topsy, Perl just grew, and as a result the need for a third edition
came about. It's now over 1,000 pages, which it needs to be, as it performs
several different duties. First, it's an introduction to the Perl language
for those who are new to programming; also, it's a guide for those who
are coming from other languages; and, finally, it's a Perl language reference.
Among Larry Wall's other pursuits is being a linguist, and it's perhaps
for this reason that Perl is a peculiarly flexible language with many routes
to achieving the same ends, as the authors ably demonstrate. It's also
extensible in several ways, designed to work with many other languages.
Also, as it's largely interpreted, programs written in Perl tend to run
unmodified on a variety of platforms--although platform-specific Perl modules
and programming practices are also discussed.
A major strength of Programming Perl is the way subject areas are approached
from
several directions. This constant shift of viewpoint eliminates blind spots
in the reader's understanding and provides a pleasing echo of the way Perl
itself can take many routes from here to there.
Because the Perl community is both knowledgeable and active, the language
covers much more ground here than in the previous edition. Even if you
have both previous editions, you'll want this latest version--if only for
the new jokes. --Steve Patient, amazon.co.uk Paperback - 645 pages 2nd edition (October 1996)

Advanced
Perl Programming by Sriram Srinivasan
Book Description: So you've learned Perl, but you're getting frustrated.

for production-ready Perl programs. This book explains methods for manipulating
data and objects that may...

Perl
Cookbook by Tom Christiansen, Nathan Torkington, Larry Wall
When the second edition of Programming Perl was released, the authors
omitted two chapters: "Common Tasks with Perl" and "Real Perl Programs."
Publisher O'Reilly & Associates soon realized that there would be too
many pages in Programming Perl if it put updated recipes in the new edition.
Instead, O'Reilly chose to release the many Perl code examples as a separate
entity: The Perl Cookbook.
The recipes are well documented and the examples aren't too arcane;
even beginners will be able to pick up the lessons taught here. The authors
write in relatively easy-to-understand language (for a technical guide).
Through this book and its arsenal of recipes, you will learn many new things
about Perl to help you through your toughest projects. The next time you're
working on a project at 2 a.m., you'll thank yourself for the guidance
and direction The Perl Cookbook provides. --Doug Beaver - Amazon.com

Perl/Tk
Pocket Reference by Steve Lidie, Stephen Lidie
Book Description: The Perl/Tk Pocket Reference is a companion volume
to Learning Perl/Tk, an O'Reilly Animal Guide. Learning Perl/Tk is a tutorial
for Perl/Tk, the extension to Perl for creating graphical user interfaces.
With Tk, Perl programs can be window-based rather than command-line based,
with buttons, entry fields, listboxes, menus, scrollbars, balloons, tables,
dialogs, and more. And Perl/Tk programs run on UNIX and Windows-based computers.
This small book is a handy reference guide geared toward the advanced
Perl/Tk programmer. Novice Perl/Tk programmers will find that its compact
size gives them a global view of Perl/Tk's capabilities; they can then
turn to Learning Perl/Tk for details. The Perl/Tk Pocket Reference describes
every Perl/Tk graphical element, including general widget and variable
information, callbacks, geometry management, bindings, events, and window
management, as well as composite widget, font, and image creation and manipulation
commands.

Perl
in a Nutshell : A Desktop Quick Reference by Ellen Siever, Stephen Spainhour, Nathan Patwardhan
Perl in a Nutshell strives to be a perfect set of socket tools for
the active Perl programmer. By and large, it succeeds, providing endless
and well-thought-out lists and tables on the language's modules, flags,
and extensions. The authors briefly address basic learner's questions--such
as the difference between a hash and an array--but these concepts are not
the purpose of the book. (Those new to Perl would be better off with others
in the O'Reilly Perl series, such as Learning Perl, while programmers making
the switch to Perl can pick up the nuances of the language with Programming
Perl.) This book is pure Perl reference, briefly covering Perl/Tk (for
GUI Perl programs on Unix and Windows 95/NT) and Perl for Win 32.
The authors do start at the very beginning, and even in a self-described
"desktop quick reference" find the time to comment on less urgent--but
still interesting--Perl-related matters (like how to find online help amidst
the "Perl culture"). The format of the book makes sections on topics such
as Perl debugging easily understandable, illustrating how to make an interactive
and timesaving environment.
Of particular convenience is the outstanding section on the standard
Perl modules. A four-page "quick look" allows you to easily scan through
short definitions of all the modules and find the entry you're looking
for. An index with full definitions for each module follows, showing you
how to use each module and providing a more in-depth explanation (and often,
examples). Perl in a Nutshell concludes--as you might expect--with an excellent
and well-cross-referenced index. --Jennifer Buckendorff
