Perl

Perl is a scripting language which allows for rapid prototyping of projects formerly done with a programming language or a shell. It incorporates all the functionality of C (including a UNIX system interface), the Shells, grep, sed, and awk. The topics in the course will aid all computer users – from end user to programmer to administrator alike.

This three-day Object Oriented Perl training course addresses the Object-Oriented features of Perl and provides students with the knowledge to create Object-Oriented Perl scripts.

This Advanced Perl Programming training course begins with a thorough treatment of packages, modules, and libraries. Next, Perl references are studied. This gives students the necessary background to write object-oriented Perl. Various applications and areas that use object orientation are studied next. These modules include the Tk.pm module for building Graphical User Interfaces, the DBI.pm module, which provides a portable way of querying databases, the CGI.pm module for writing CGI programs, and the Socket.pm module used in client server networking applications. Finally a treatment of XML and Perl is undertaken.

This CGI Programming using Perl training course bridges the gap between using HTML to create static Web pages and using Perl CGI scripts to create dynamic Web pages. The course emphasizes using the Perl 5 CGI library routines to process HTML forms by providing extensive working examples and by students writing applications to illustrate the concepts presented. This course is not intended to be a substitute for a Perl programming course.
