Synopses & Reviews
Perl has established itself as one of the major scripting languages, yet this powerful language is for much more than writing CGI scripts and text processing. One important characteristic of the language that makes it so powerful and extensible is its implementation with modules. Its great variety of modules mean that applications can be developed to allow Perl to tackle almost any task. Its cross-platform nature also allows Perl to be integrated with a large number of different languages.
