Functional Programming Techniques in Perl Revealed

Penn Perl programmer Mark Jason Dominus will present "Higher-Order 
Perl: Transforming Programs with Programs" on October 27 at  6:00 p.m.


Perl is a UNIX-based scripting language that is often used on the one 
of the most popular languages for writing CGI scripts for web pages. 
In "Higher-Order Perl," Mark Jason Dominus illuminates Perl 
techniques that resemble Lisp far more than C. By learning Dominus's 
techniques, a programmer can accomplish things in Perl that can't be 
done any other way and automate tasks that would be a struggle to 
handle conventionally.

 According to Sean M. Burke, Leading Programmer of the Comprehensive 
Perl Network, " 'Higher-Order Perl' is the most exciting, most 
clearly-written, most comprehensive and most forward-looking 
programming book I've reading the last ten years. It's your map to 
the future of programming in any language."

 Mark Jason Dominus is the author of the Tie::File, Test::Template 
and Memoize modules, the perlreftut man page, and is an occasional 
contributor the the Perl core. Dominus won the 2001 Larry Wall Award 
for Practical Utility.
