Minimal Perl: For UNIX and Linux People

Book Description

A guide to a carefully designed subset of the Perl language, this book makes Perl more accessible to those having UNIX/Linux skill levels ranging from elementary to expert by capitalizing on their existing knowledge of important utilities (grep, awk), or essential concepts (filters, command substitution, looping). Dozens of detailed programming examples are shown, drawn from contemporary application areas such as system administration, networking, Web development, databases, finance, HTML, CGI, and text analysis. Broken into two parts, the first is for all who are familiar with core UNIX/Linux commands such as grep and caters to readers ranging from managers and administrative staff to advanced programmers. The second part is for developers experienced in Bourne, Korn, Bash, or POSIX Shell programming and makes Perl scripting easy to learn by showing Shell examples along with their Perl counterparts. Many Perl modules are covered including freely available pre-written code from the CPAN.

书名：Minimal Perl：适用于Unix和Linux用户

作为一本精心设计的Perl语言子集指南，这本书通过利用那些具有从初级到专业的Unix/Linux技能水平的人对重要实用程序(grep、awk)或基本概念(过滤器、命令替换、循环)的现有知识，使他们更容易接触到Perl。文中显示了数十个详细的编程示例，这些示例来自当代应用程序领域，如系统管理、网络、Web开发、数据库、金融、HTML、CGI和文本分析。分为两部分，第一部分面向熟悉核心的UNIX/Linux命令(如grep)的所有人，并迎合了从经理和管理人员到高级程序员的读者。第二部分面向在Bourne、Korn、Bash或POSIX Shell编程方面经验丰富的开发人员，通过展示Shell示例和对应的Perl示例，使Perl脚本易于学习。本文介绍了许多Perl模块，包括来自CPAN的免费提供的预先编写的代码。
