Riassunto

Blank-Edelman (computer science, Northeastern University) has served as system/network administrator for several multiplatform environments in the Boston area. This readable, self-help type book about Perl language and its uses is directed at non-specialists who know some Perl and work in system administration. Five tutorials, in RCS, LDAP, XML, SQL, and SNMP, are included. The paper binding is designed to open flat. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
