Résumé
Perl is a general-purpose programming language invented in 1987 by Larry Wall. With over one million users worldwide, it has become the language of choice for Web development, text processing, Internet services, mail filtering, graphical programming, systems administration, and every other task requiring portable and easily developed solutions.
The Comprehensive Perl Archive Network, better known as CPAN, offers a mammoth collection of Perl scripts, modules and documentation. Offering developers a resource unlike that seen in any other programming community, CPAN makes it possible to quickly and efficiently create new applications via the integration of code contributed to the repository by developers around the globe.
"Writing Perl Modules for CPAN" offers Perl developers a comprehensive guide to using and contributing to the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN). Starting with a general overview of CPAN's history, network topology, and navigational mechanisms, readers are quickly brought up to speed regarding how to search out and install available modules. However, in the true Open Source spirit, author and experienced Perl developer Sam Tregar teaches readers not only how to use, but also contribute to CPAN via a discussion of module creation, submission, and maintenance.
Beginning with a survey of basic design principles, Tregar takes care to discuss all issues relevant to coders wishing to create great Perl modules, including choosing a proper name, properly using Perl's POD (Plain Old Documentation) feature, concepts surrounding functional and Object-Oriented API development, and much more. Tregar then proceeds with a lengthy dissertation of how modules should conform to CPAN module specifications, covering required distribution files, coding considerations, in addition to offering advice regarding proper module testing. The module now created and ready for release, Tregar guides readers through the CPAN module submission process, and additionally devotes time to the discussion of module maintenance once the module has been contributed to the CPAN service.
"Writing Perl Modules for CPAN" is an indispensable guide for anyone wishing to make the most of the CPAN service.
- Introduces all aspects of CPAN, offering discussion of network topology, system navigation, the CPAN package manager, and the module submission process
- Guides the reader through the entire Perl module design and development process, offering information on everything from choosing a module name to testing the code
- Provides valuable information regarding writing both C and CGI application modules for CPAN
Sam Tregar is employed as the Perl programmer for About.com. When not programming, Sam enjoys black/white photography, Muay Thai, playing bass, and gardening.
