- ------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION
- The Perl CDROM is based on CPAN, the Comprehensive Perl Archive
- Network. Larry Wall's Perl combines the best features of C, sed,
- awk, and sh. People familiar with those languages should love
- Perl. Perl is an interpreted language optimized for scanning text
- files, extracting information, and printing reports. It's also an
- excellent language for many system management tasks.
-
- CPAN, aims to be The Perl archive. It's the only Perl archive you
- will ever need. The material is as up-to-date as possible, and
- organized to make finding files easy. You'll get the sources to the
- latest versions of Perl5 (5.001m, 5.002, and 5.003). You'll also
- get binary or source versions for Solaris, SunOS, Linux, FreeBSD,
- Windows NT/95/3.1, Mac, OS/2, DOS, Amiga, and Atari. Perl compiles
- on over 40 platforms.
-
- There are 653 scripts for Perl4/5, including system administration
- utilities, mail-handling, Internet protocols, and file-handling
- libraries. This CDROM contains a very robust collection of tools
- dealing with HTML, CGI, Syntax-Parsing, Web Servers, and other WWW
- topics. You also get 448 modules for Perl5.
-
- The Perl CDROM comes with documentation, papers, examples, and
- support utilities. There are articles on a variety of subjects,
- including discussions of the new features in Perl5. Extensions
- include connections to Tk, Motif, and many databases including
- Oracle (6 & 7), Sybase 4, Ingres, Informix, and Postgres, as well
- as B-trees and C-trees. We are using new experimental mastering
- software for this edition of our Perl CDROM.
-
- Before you purchase this CDROM, make sure your system can handle
- either Rockridge Extensions (UNIX) or VFAT long filenames (Win95/NT).
- DOS and Windows 3.1 machines will not be able to read this CDROM
- properly.
