Elements of Programming with Perl

Many neophyte programmers now begin their careers by learning the metalanguage Perl. But the books currently available on Perl assume their readers already understand the basics of writing and designing programs-when in fact they often do not. Elements teaches these basics right along with the particulars of Perl syntax so that such issues as good style and structure and maintainability can be built into applications as they are written, rather than later when the fixes will be merely cosmetic. This is a book for beginners, but advanced concepts such as modular programming, abstract datastructures, and object-oriented programming are covered once the basics have been thoroughly worked through.
