Adopted as the undisputed Perl bible soon after the first
edition appeared in 1991, "Programming Perl" is still the go-to
guide for this highly practical language. Perl began life as a
super-fueled text processing utility, but quickly evolved into a
general purpose programming language that's helped hundreds of
thousands of programmers, system administrators, and enthusiasts,
like you, get your job done.
In this much-anticipated update to "the Camel," three renowned
Perl authors cover the language up to its current version, Perl
5.14, with a preview of features in the upcoming 5.16. In a world
where Unicode is increasingly essential for text processing, Perl
offers the best and least painful support of any major language,
smoothly integrating Unicode everywhere--including in Perl's most
popular feature: regular expressions.
Important features covered by this update include: New keywords
and syntaxI/O layers and encodingsNew backslash escapesUnicode
6.0Unicode grapheme clusters and propertiesNamed captures in
regexesRecursive and grammatical patternsExpanded coverage of
