Perl 4: Applied Perl
Perl Programming for the Advanced Student or Perl Professional
Perl 4: Applied Perl teaches the application of Perl in performing many common complex tasks, such as:
- Sending email
- Processing web page forms
- Interacting with a database
- Scraping web pages and parsing HTML
- Complex data and time handling
Because this type of programming requires using objects, we first teach you not only how to use objects in Perl, but how to make your own, so that you, too, can create reusable code (aka modules). We'll cover the basics of object-oriented programming in Perl, plus more advanced aspects such as inheritance, polymorphism, inside-out objects, and use of the Moose O-O system.
Also, because some of the modules we will need do not come with the standard Perl distribution, we'll show you how to get any module you want from the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network. All this, plus multiprocessing in Perl and using its built-in debugger, awaits you in Perl 4.
Upon completion of the course, you will earn 4 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) and a CEU letter from the University of Illinois Office of Continuing Education. This is the fourth and last course in the Perl Programming Certificate series.
