Review of Perl for Web Site Management

Perl for Web Site Management
John Callender
O'Reilly, 2002

This book may be one of the best books I've ever seen for getting the Perl programming language used in a place where it is sorely needed.

Many people developing web-based applications are not programmers. They learned to use some HTML authoring tool and progressed from there. Many of them never quite get the idea of automating the grunt work of their jobs. This book tries to introduce these people to Perl as a labor-saving device.

If you are doing any form of web site maintenance, this book is worth a read. If you are a programmer working on web sites, you are probably doing most of what this book teaches. But, if your background is not in programming, this book will probably increase your productivity dramatically.
