Learning perl : making easy things easy and hard things possible / Randal L. Schwartz, Brain D. Foy and Tom Phoenix - 8th ed., - India Shroff Publishers 2021 - 371p.

If you're just getting started with Perl, this is the book you want—whether you're a programmer, system administrator, or web hacker. Nicknamed "the Llama" by two generations of users, this best seller closely follows the popular introductory Perl course taught by the authors since 1991. This eighth edition covers recent changes to the language up to version 5.34.

Perl is suitable for almost any task on almost any platform, from short fixes to complete web applications. Learning Perl teaches you the basics and shows you how to write simple, single-file programs—roughly 90% of the Perl programs in use today. And each chapter includes exercises to help you practice what you've just learned. Other books may teach you to program in Perl, but this book will turn you into a Perl programmer.

Perl data and variable types
Subroutines
File operations
Regular expressions
String manipulation (including Unicode)
