Learn Perl by Doing - Part 3

Building a Complete Program

What you'll learn

In this third part of the tutorial we're going to tackle the things that we need to build robust, industrial-strength Perl programs; we'll look at program structure, talking to databases, working with XML and making your program user friendly. The syntax you'll learn here will enable you to write programs that are capable of dealing robustly with data imports, exports, transfers and processing, while enabling you to write and run your scripts in a manner that doesn't leave you wishing you'd written an instruction manual.
