The book also covers Perl modules for recent technologies such as XML and SOAP.Here are just some of the topics contained in this book:
- Basic Perl reference
- Quick reference to built-in functions and standard modules
- CGI.pm and mod_perl
- XML::* modules

Colophon Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Perl in a Nutshell, Second Edition, is a camel (onehump dromedary). Camels are large ruminant mammals, weighing between 1,000 and 1,600 pounds and standing 6 to 7 feet tall at the shoulders. They are well known for their use as draft and saddle animals in the desert regions, especially of Africa and Asia. Camels can go for days without water. If food is scarce, they will eat anything, even their owner's tent. Camels live up to 50 years. Matt Hutchinson was the production editor and copyeditor for Perl in a Nutshell, Second Edition. Darren Kelly and Jeffrey Holcombprovided quality control. Seth Maislin and John Bickelhaupt wrote the index.Edie Freedman designed the cover of this book. The cover image is a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's ITC Garamond font.Melanie Wang designed the interior layout based on a series design by David Futato. Mike Sierra converted the files from XML to FrameMaker 5.5.6 using tools he created, as well as tools written in Perl by Erik Ray, Jason McIntosh, and Neil Walls. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans Mono Condensed. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano and Jessamyn Read using Macromedia FreeHand 9 and Adobe Photoshop 6. The tip and warning icons were drawn by Christopher Bing. This colophon was written by Michael Kalantarian. |
