Perl Cookbook, 2nd Edition is a comprehensive collection of problems, solutions, and practical examples for anyone programming in Perl. The book contains hundreds of rigorously reviewed Perl "recipes" for manipulating strings, numbers, dates, arrays, and hashes; pattern matching and text substitutions; references, data structures, objects, and classes; signals and exceptions; and much more. In the second edition of this classic book, the authors have revisited the topic areas to add and revise many recipes, and they have also written new chapters to cover emerging topics such as XML processing and embedding programs with the Inline module.
