About the Book

No-nonsense and practical, yet with wit and charm. A joy to read.
-Dan Sanderson, Software Developer, Amazon.com
Shows style, not just facts-valuable.
-Brian Downs, former Training Director, Lucent Technologies
Brilliant, never tedious-highly recommended!
-Jon Allen, Maintainer of perldoc.perl.org
You could have chosen no better primer than this book.
-Damian Conway, from the Foreword
Perl is a complex language that can be difficult to master. Perl advocates boast that There's More Than One Way To Do It, but do you really want to learn several ways of saying the same thing to a computer?
To make Perl more accessible, Dr. Tim Maher has over the years designed and taught an essential subset of the language that is smaller, yet practical and powerful. With this engaging book you can now benefit from Minimal Perl, even if all you know about Unix is grep.
You will learn how to write simple Perl commands-many just one-liners-that go far beyond the limitations of Unix utilities, and those of Linux, MacOS/X, etc. And you'll acquire the more advanced Perl skills used in scripts by capitalizing on your knowledge of related Shell resources. Sprinkled throughout are many Unix-specific Perl tips.
This book is especially suitable for system administrators, webmasters, and software developers.
About the Author: Tim Maher has worked for U.C. Berkeley as a senior programmer/analyst, for the University of Utah as a professor of computer science, and for AT&T, DEC, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett Packard, and Consultix as a course developer and/or lecturer on operating systems and programming languages. He founded Seattle's SPUG, one of the oldest, largest, and most active Perl users groups and served as its leader for its first six years. He serves on the Advisory Board of the University of Washington that oversees its Perl Certificate Program, and has led discussions in the Perl community about the development of a certification process for Perl programmers. He lives in Seattle, Washington.
