Über den Autor
Curtis ‚Ovid‘ Poe has specialized in Perl since 2000. He is an author, a regular guest speaker at conferences across Europe and the United States, and he wrote the test harness that currently ships with the Perl language.
‚This is not your everyday Beginning Perl book. Not only does Ovid provide splendid coverage of Perl’s basics and best practices, he also covers modern Perl techniques and modules, where Perl’s real power lies. [It] is like being given Batman’s utility belt: you have everything you need to do truly amazing things. If Perl were a shark, this book would teach you how to outfit it with lasers.‘
–Paul Fenwick, Perl Training Australia
