	eXtropia \| Tutorials \| Introduction to Perl 5 for Web Developers \| What is Perl 5
		Perl 5 is the latest version in an ongoing evolution of the Perl language.
		The Perl 5 interpreter and language were released a few years ago to replace and upgrade the existing Perl 4 that had become the staple of many web developers.
		Perl 5 introduces a host of new features that are allowing Perl developers to keep pace with the demands of modern-day web applications development.

	Perl 5.8.7 documentation - perldoc.perl.org
		If you are new to the Perl language, good places to start reading are the introduction and overview at perlintro, and the extensive FAQ section, which provides answers to over 300 common questions.
		For quicker navigation, enter any Perl function, manpage, or core module name into the search box to jump directly to the appropriate section (full search results will still be available).

	Amazon.com: Perl 5 Desktop Reference (A Nutshell Handbook): Books: Johan Vromans (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Perl, having previously established itself as the UNIX scripting tool of choice, is establishing itself as the tool of choice in numerous programming spheres, ranging from the World Wide Web to general-purpose programming.
		Perl combines in one language virtually all the functionality of the C, sed, and awk programming languages, as well as many functions of a shell.
		Perl's quirky syntax and the attitude built into the language of there's always more than one way to do it, makes having multiple reference sources a requirement, if only to find the Perl guru who thinks like you do.

	PERL 5 Manual
		Perl variables may now be declared within a lexical scope, like "auto" variables in C. Not only is this more efficient, but it contributes to better privacy for "programming in the large".
		Perl may now be embedded easily in your C or C++ application, and can either call or be called by your routines through a documented interface.
		Perl is at the mercy of your machine's definitions of various operations such as type casting, atof() and sprintf().

	USENIX - Perl 5.0 Overview
		Increasing numbers of companies are now shipping Perl and using it internally for their install programs, test suites, database interfaces, and end-user applications.
		The new features in Perl 5.0 will not break existing code except in a few extremely rare cases where the writer was being, to quote one of C's fathers, unreasonably chummy with the compiler.
		References in Perl are type-safe and type-checked, unlike C's pointers.

	Installing Perl 5.8 on Jaguar
		Perl 5.8 is included in the installation of Mac OS X v10.3 Panther, but you may want to install your own version if you plan to customize it; or if you are still running Jaguar.
		Perl is no different, but does require some patience; compiling the package could take you an hour or more, depending on the speed of your machine.
		The Perl install docs state: “[Perl 5.8.1] is not binary compatible with releases of Perl prior to 5.8.1.

	Perl 5 Tutorial
		This tutorial covers the fundamentals of the Perl language that all Perl programmers are supposed to be familiar with.

	Perl 5.8 Documentation - Index
		You should be able to view Perl's documentation with your man(1) program by including the proper directories in the appropriate start-up files, or in the MANPATH environment variable.
		Perl is a language optimized for scanning arbitrary text files, extracting information from those text files, and printing reports based on that information.
		Perl combines (in the author's opinion, anyway) some of the best features of C, sed, awk, and sh, so people familiar with those languages should have little difficulty with it.

	CPAN/ports
		As of Perl 5.8.0 it is suggested that instead of JPerl (which is based on a quite old release of Perl) you should just use Perl 5.8.0, since it can do all that JPerl did, and more.

	comp.lang.perl.modules The Perl 5 Module List (Reusable Software) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The Perl 4 concept of packages has been extended in Perl 5 and a new standardised form of reusable software component has been defined: the Module.
		Perl 5 Modules typically conform to certain guidelines which make them easier to use, reuse, integrate and extend.
		Perl, for example, is supplied with two types of licence: The GNU GPL and The Artistic License (see the files README, Copying and Artistic).

	Perl Text Patterns for Search and Replace
		Perl was originally designed by Larry Wall as a flexible text-processing language.
		Because of Perl's focus on managing and mangling text, regular expression text patterns are an integral part of the Perl language.

		As an example, our DBI-aware Perl 5 CGI Script will be used to access an MS Access Database on a Windows 95 system using a local web server called Sambar.
		Of course, as we will see in just a bit, the fact that we use Perl 5 and the DBI module means, that the code we develop here will work on UNIX, NT or Macintosh without any modifications.
		In short, the beauty of Perl and of the DBI module is that they are both designed to be highly cross platform and non-proprietary.
