Product Description
Most Perl programmers have been frustrated at one time or another because the system just wouldn't do what they wanted it to do. There was that one simple and obvious utility that was missing that would make life so much easier: A tool to get a stock quote, show off a photograph collection, or even display a collection of favorite comics.
Wicked Cool Perl Scripts is about writing those utilities quickly and easily. A collection of handy utilities that solves difficult problems,
Wicked Cool Perl Scripts is a great resource for the savvy Perl programmer.
Reader ReviewsPerl is a great language, but I doubt anyone would call it 'self explanatory'. That's where I find fault with this book. It's page after page of code, with very little explanation of that code and how it works. That being said, I did like the examples used in the book. And I think this book fits nicely between Programming Perl and the Perl Cookbook. Though I would certainly buy those two books before buying this one.
