Many programmers would love to use Perl for projects that involve heavy lifting, but miss the many traditional algorithms that textbooks teach for other languages. Computer scientists have identified many techniques that a wide range of programs need, such as:
- Fuzzy pattern matching for text (identify misspellings!)
- Finding correlations in data
- Game-playing algorithms
- Predicting phenomena such as web traffic
- Polynomial and spline fitting
- Encrypting your data
Using algorithms explained in this book, you too can carry out traditional programming tasks in a high-powered, efficient, easy-to-maintain manner with Perl.
This book assumes a basic understanding of Perl syntax and functions, but not necessarily any background in computer science. The authors explain in a readable fashion the reasons for using various classic programming techniques, the kind of applications that use them, and - most important - how to code these algorithms in Perl.
If you are an amateur programmer, this book will fill you in on the essential algorithms you need to solve problems in other languages, you will be surprised at how much different (often easier) it is to implement them in Perl. And yes, the book even has the obligatory fractal display program.
There have been dozens of books on programming algorithms, some of them excellent, but never before has there been one that uses Perl.
The authors include the editor of The Perl Journal and master librarian of CPAN; all are contributors to CPAN and have archived much of the code in this book there.

Learning Perl/Tk is a tutorial for Perl/Tk, the extension to Perl for creating graphical user interfaces. With Tk, Perl programs can be window-based rather than command-line based, with buttons, entry fields, listboxes, menus, and scrollbars. Originally developed for the Tcl language, the Perl port of the Tk toolkit liberates Perl programmers from the world of command-line options, STDIN, and STDOUT, allowing them to build graphical, event-driven applications for both Windows and UNIX.
This book is aimed at Perl novices and experts alike. It explains the reasoning behind event-driven applications and drills in guidelines on how to best design graphical applications. It teaches how to implement and configure each of the Perl/Tk graphical elements step-by-step. Special attention is given to the geometry managers, which are needed to position each button, menu, label and listbox in the window frame.
Although this book does not teach basic Perl, anyone who has written even the simplest Perl program should be able to learn Tk from this book. The writing is breezy and informal, and gets right to the point of what you need to know and why. The book is rife with illustrations that demonstrate how each element is drawn and how its configuration options affect its presentation.
Learning Perl/Tk is for every Perl programmer who would like to implement simple, easy-to-use graphical interfaces.

Perl in a Nutshell is a comprehensive reference guide to the Perl programming language. This book covers all the core features of the language. It ranges widely through the Perl programmer's universe, gathering together in convenient form a wealth of information about Perl itself and its application to CGI scripts, network programming, database interaction, and graphical user interfaces. It also gives detailed coverage about using Perl within a Win32 environment.
This book assembles more information about the language in one place than any other reference work. Here are just some of the topics covered in the book:
- Basic language reference
- Introduction to using Perl modules
- Perl and CGI: CGI basics, CGI.pm, mod_perl
- DBI, the database-independent API for Perl
- Sockets programming in Perl
- LWP, the library for World Wide Web programming in Perl
- The Net::* modules
