- Summary
- If Perl itself is the first legend of Larry Wall, this book - affectionately known everywhere as The Camel Book - is the second. If you buy only one book about Perl, no one in the Perl community will question your judgment in buying this one.
- Contents include an extensive overview of the language and its syntax; a complete reference for all Perl functions, operators, and standard library modules; an explanation of Perl references and complex data structures; a detailed account of Perl's object-oriented features; and much more, including efficiency, debugging, invocation options, program security, interprocess communication, autoloading, etc.
