The textbook for this year is:
- Perl Core Language Little Black Book, 2nd Edition
By Steve Holzner, Paraglyph Press, October 2004, ISBN: 1932111921.
I haven't seen it yet, so lets all keep our fingers crossed.
The textbook for this unit used to be:
- PERL Black Book, 2nd Edition, by Stephen Holzner,
Coriolis, 2001.
But unfortunately Coriolis has gone down the gurgler, and taken this
nice book with them, so it is not be available.
Two books that I have used in the past are:
- CGI Programming with Perl, 2nd Edition, by
Scott Guelich and Shishir Gundavaram and Gunther Birznieks,
O'Reilly, 2000, ISBN: 1-56592-419-3.
- Learning Perl, 3rd Edition,
by Randal L. Schwartz and Tom Phoenix,
O'Reilly, 2001, ISBN: 0-596-00132-0.
The first may be useful as a reference, while the second
is not as useful as the previous edition
that was written by Schwartz and Christiansen, and finished with
a reasonably nice introduction to CGI programming in Perl.
Another book that may be useful is the Camel book:
- Programming Perl, 3rd Edition by Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen, and Jon
Orwant. O'Reilly, 2000, ISBN: 0-596-00027-8.
This year we will rely mainly on these notes (the online
versions actually).
Though we will supplement this text with other, online material.
In particular, heavy use will be made of Lincoln Stein's
CGI.pm module, and the online documentation for it:
