Perl, one of the world's most diffuse programming languages, was born out of the need to resolve the creator's dissatisfaction with what were at the time standard data-parsing solutions. Indeed, since the 1.0 release in 1987, Perl has been heralded for its powerful parsing capabilities and emdash;features that are further enhanced through the thousands of Perl extensions made available through CPAN (the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network).
Pro Perl Parsing begins with several chapters devoted to key parsing principles, discussing topics pertinent to regular expressions, parsing grammars, and parsing techniques. This material sets the stage for later chapters, which introduce numerous and powerful CPAN parsing modules, and provide an ample supply of example applications.

Review:
I thoroughly enjoyed this...I write and maintain a fair amount of Perl, and matching and parsing patterns is often the largest part of the work.

CONTENTS
CHAPTER 1 Parsing and Regular Expression Basics
CHAPTER 2 Grammars
CHAPTER 3 Parsing Basics
CHAPTER 4 Using Parse::Yapp
CHAPTER 5 Performing Recursive-Descent Parsing with Parse::RecDescent
CHAPTER 6 Accessing Read more... - Use advanced regular expressions, including global matches,
lookarounds, readable regexes, and regex debugging
- Avoid common programing problems with secure programming techniques
- Profile and benchmark Perl to find out where to focus your
improvements
- Wrangle Perl code to make it more presentable and readable
- See how Perl keeps track of package variables and how you can use
that for some powerful tricks
- Define subroutines on the fly and turn the tables on normal
procedural programming.
- Modify and jury rig modules to fix code without editing the original
source
- Let your users configure your programs without touching the code
- Learn how you can detect errors Perl doesn’t report, and how to tell
users about them
- Let your Perl program talk back to you by using Log4perl
- Store data for later use in another program, a later run of the same
program, or to send them over a network
- Write programs as modules to get the benefit of Perl’s distribution
and testing tools Appendices include “brian’s Guide to Solving Any Perl
Problem� to improve your troubleshooting skills, as well as suggested
reading to continue your Perl education. Mastering Perl starts you on
your path to becoming the person with the answers, and, failing that,
the person who knows how to find the answers or discover the problem.
