This manual pertains to the collection of articles titled "Web, Graphics & Perl/Tk Programming: Best of the Perl Journal," compiled by Jon Orwant. This volume, comprising forty articles, delves into the capabilities of the Perl programming language, focusing on its applications in web development, graphics, and the Perl/Tk toolkit. The content, written by prominent members of the Perl community, offers insights into real-life applications and powerful techniques, covering topics such as CGI programming, mod_perl, HTML parsing, graph generation, ray tracing, and the development of graphical applications for multiple operating systems.
The purpose of this manual is to preserve and present valuable technical information from "The Perl Journal" for programmers and developers. It serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding and implementing advanced Perl techniques in web and graphics programming, as well as GUI development with Perl/Tk. The collection aims to provide unique insights and practical guidance, making it an essential reference for those seeking to leverage Perl's power in these domains.
In its first five years of existence, The Perl Journal (TPJ) became the voice of the Perl community. Every serious Perl programmer subscribed to it, and every notable Perl guru jumped at the opportunity to write for it. TPJ explained critical Perl topics and demonstrated Perl's utility for fields as diverse as astronomy, biology, economics, AI, and games. Back issues were hoarded, or swapped like trading cards. No longer in print format, The Perl Journal remains a proud and timeless achievement of Perl during one of its most exciting periods of development.
Web, Graphics & Perl/Tk is the second volume of The Best of the Perl Journal, compiled and re-edited by the original editor and publisher of The Perl Journal, Jon Orwant. In this series, we've taken the very best (and still relevant) articles published in TPJ over its five years of publication and immortalized them into three volumes.
The forty articles included in this volume are simply some of the best Perl articles ever written on the subjects of graphics, the Web, and Perl/Tk, by some of the best Perl authors and coders.
Much of Perl's success is due to its capabilities for developing web sites; the Web section covers popular topics such as CGI programs, mod_perl, spidering, HTML parsing, security, and content management. The Graphics section is a grab bag of techniques, ranging from simple graph generation to ray tracing and real-time video digitizing. The Perl/Tk section shows you how to use the popular Perl/Tk toolkit for developing graphical applications that work on both Unix/Linux and Windows without a single change.
Written by twenty-three of the most prominent and prolific members of the closely-knit Perl community, including Lincoln Stein, Mark-Jason Dominus, Alligator Descartes, and Dan Brian, this anthology does what no other book can, giving unique insight into the real-life applications and powerful techniques made possible by Perl.
