A Desktop Quick Reference

Perl in a Nutshell is a complete, comprehensive reference for both experienced Perl programmers and those who are just learning it. This book includes all the basic documentation for the core Perl language, and has complete reference material on many of the add-on modules and utilities that Perl programmers rely on, such as CGI.pm, mod_perl, DBI, and Perl/Tk. The updated second edition has been expanded to cover Perl 5.7, including information on Unicode processing in Perl, new functions and modules added to the core language, and new features that have been incorporated into the Perl debugger and Perl regex engine.
