Book excerpts:

Perl 5 by Example teaches you how to use the Perl programming language by showing examples that demonstrate the concepts being discussed. The examples are designed to give you a chance to experiment-which in turn should clarify the material.

The topics are covered in a straightforward, non-technical manner which allows you to quickly understand the fundamental principles. After the main topic of each chapter is introduced, sub-topics are explored in their own sections. Each section has its own Perl examples with explanations given in psuedocode.

This approach is designed to serve a broad range of readers from novice to advanced. If you've never programmed before, the learn-by- doing approach will help you move quickly and easily though this book. If you have programming experience, you'll find plenty of material to refine and enhance what you already know, and to give you a solid understanding of how Perl works.
