Mastering Perl

In this tutorial, brian d foy will cover aspects of his latest book, Mastering Perl, which is practical advice for working programmers on creating professional, enterprise-quality Perl programs. He will cover four major topics:

• Modules as programs: created programs as modulinos to facilitate testing and reuse.

• Profiling Perl programs: before you start to optimize, find the slow parts of your code.

• Modifying and jury-rigging third party code: fix third-party code without disrupting the original source

• Secure programming techniques: protect yourself from malicious or malformed user input to keep your program from unintended behavior.
