Perl Design Patterns - Free Book

Posted by Hemos on from the learning-more-about-it dept.

Scott Walters writes "Perl programmers and Java programmers have a lot to learn from each other. Perl 5 is providing more and more optional stricture, and Perl 6 is expected to provide stricture by default and other goodies as type safety. Perhaps better named "Stupid Perl Object Tricks", Perl Design Patterns proves that a little design, a little computer science, and some style are nothing to fear. This is dedicated to all of the newbies screaming, "The code is fine! Just tell me what the bug is!", and to all of the talented programmers who think Perl deserves a better reputation. Object::PerlDesignPatterns on CPAN is updated less often but has a fatter pipe."

    Better just read the O'Reilly net article about perl design patterns here

      While the O'Reilly Net Article is interesting, the Perl Design Patterns page is worth a read too as it provides *far* (read 860Kb of text) more than the two page document at O'Reilly.

  4. Lots of Perl Patterns Resources by scrottie · · Score: 4, Informative

    perldesignpatterns.com/?PerlPatternsResources tries to track them. Oh, I'm turning off Wiki edits until later. Come back in a few days if you want to contribute to the site. Want to keep things in some sort of condition for the rush. Thanks again to Slashdot for the link and for everyones comments, constructive or otherwise. -scott
