Mastering Perl helps readers to learn the Perl programming language with real-world examples. High-level, interpreted, and multipurpose, Perl’s roots are in text manipulation. It is used for UI development in system administration, networking, and other fields, borrowing heavily from C and Shell scripts.
Among programmers, Perl is also known as "Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister" or "Practically Everything Really Likable." Since Perl’s inception, it has mostly been used for text processing, namely the extraction of data from text files and its subsequent transformation into other formats.
In addition to being interoperable with HTML, XML, and other markup languages, Perl provides cross-platform compatibility. It is Open Source, meaning it is free to use and licensed under both the Artistic and GNU General Public Licenses (GPL).
Perl’s popularity and demand stem from a variety of factors. Some of the causes are as follows:
• Perl is a high-level language; thus, it is similar to other popular programming languages such as C and C++, making it simple for any-
body to learn.
• Text-processing: As the name “Practical Extraction and Reporting Language” suggests, Perl has powerful text manipulation capabilities, allowing it to create reports from various text files readily. Additionally, it may convert the files to a different format.
• Perl incorporates the most exemplary aspects of other languages, such as C, sed, awk, and sh, making the language more useful and productive.
• System management: Perl’s ability to use many scripting languages makes system administration a simple operation. Instead of relying on many languages, utilize Perl to fulfill all system management tasks. Despite this, Perl is also used for web development, web automation, and Graphical User Interface (GUI) programming, among other things.
• Web and Perl: Perl may be incorporated into web servers to boost their processing capacity, and the DBI module makes web-database interaction quite simple.
With Mastering Perl, learning Perl becomes a charm and will help readers undoubtedly advance their careers.
