Perl Pocket Reference 4th Edition
The Perl Pocket Reference is an invaluable reference for
those who find themselves frequently searching for a quick
answer to a question or reminder of a syntax rule. This
handy, well-organized quick reference condenses stacks of
Perl documentation down to the most essential
at-your-fingertips facts. For ease-of-use, convenience,
and
price, this little reference is the first place Perl
programmers look when they need an answer quickly.
The Perl Pocket Referenc provides a complete overview of the
Perl programming language, all packed into a convenient,
carry-around booklet. It is updated for Perl 5.8, and
covers a summary of Perl syntax rules, a complete list of
operators, built-in functions, and standard library modules,
all with brief descriptions. Also included are the newest
Perl features, such as enhanced regular expressions,
multithreading, the Perl compiler, and Unicode support.
The Perl Pocket Reference, 4th Edition, is the perfect
companion to the authoritative books on Perl published by
O'Reilly & Associates: Programming Perl, Learning Perl, and
the Perl Cookbook. This pocket reference will never make it
to the bookshelf--dog-eared and well worn, it will remain
within arms reach of the keyboard or tucked in a back
pocket, where it will be referred to on a daily basis.
