Perl Medic: Transforming Legacy Code

Posted by IDM under Perl

Perl ranks among hackers’ favorite languages–there’s always another approach to a problem, always optimization to be done, and forever new techniques to try. Perl’s a hoot. But the culture of tinkering that surrounds Perl has resulted in a large body of hard-to-understand legacy code. That legacy code has to be maintained, extended, and adapted to new conditions–often without the help of the person who originally created it. Perl Medic considers Perl from the perspective of a programmer looking at code written by someone else and trying to answer the ancient question: “What were they thinking?”

Network Programming with Perl

Posted by IDM under Networks, Perl

“Network programming”–the term had a distinct meaning once, but now it begs the question, “Is there another kind?” That’s why Lincoln Stein’s Network Programming with Perl is valuable. It shows how one of the world’s top Perl authorities brings the language to bear on problems that require communication among computers, showing that you may not have to resort to Java as soon as you may have thought to meet a networking requirement. What’s more, Stein doesn’t assume you have a lot of Perl expertise. An intermediate-level familiarity with the language should enable you to understand the examples in the book and follow its classic code-and-commentary structure.
