While there are dozens of books on programming algorithms, never before has there been one that uses Perl. Using the algorithms explained here, you'll be able to carry out traditional programming tasks in a high-powered, efficient, easy-to-maintain manner with Perl. This guide assumes a basic understanding of Perl syntax and functions, but not necessarily any background in computer science. The authors clearly explain the reasons for using various classic programming techniques, the kind of applications that use them, and -- most important -- how to code these algorithms in Perl. Topics range in complexity from sorting and searching to statistical algorithms, numerical analysis, and encryption. If you are an amateur programmer, this book will fill you in on the essential algorithms needed to solve problems just like an expert. If you've learned algorithms in other languages, you will be surprised at how much different (and often easier) it is to implement them in Perl. The authors include the editor of The Perl Journal and the master librarian of CPAN; all are contributors to CPAN and have archived much of the code in this book there.
