This book helps non-programmers build their own scripts and programs with Perl without having to labour over the language's intricacies. The book informs users about the latest updates to the popular scripting language, the most notable being the ability of Perl to integrate XML with existing Web data and update it to the newest Web standard. The CD included with this book contains the CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) library, a freely distributed archive which includes the Perl program as well as documentation on Perl programming.
