Graphics Programming with PERL

Object Oriented Perl is designed to provide anyone who is familiar with the basics of regular Perl programming with a complete introduction to the object-oriented features of Perl. The book moves from the very simplest applications through advanced applications such as generic programming, multiple dispatch, and object-oriented persistence. Thus, it offers a much-needed resource for persons new to Perl, as well as new and valuable insights and techniques for even the most accomplished Perl programmers.about the bookBeyond explaining the syntax and semantics of Perl's inbuilt object-oriented features, Object Oriented Perl explains how to apply those features in a wide range of programming techniques. Each technique is illustrated with complete examples.Object Oriented Perl also discusses the latest relevant Perl modules, which are freely available and can greatly simplify object-oriented development in Perl. In particular, it examines the new standard "fields" module and the associated pseudo-hash construct.No other book covers the topic of object-oriented software development in Perl in such breadth, to such depth, or in such a readable manner.Translation rights for Object Oriented Perl have been granted for Korea, Japan, India, and Germany. If you are interested in learning where to buy this book in a language other than English, please inquire at your local bookseller. "Perl is a great language for throw-away programming--hacking quick solutions to urgent tasks. It can also be a great language for developing large, robust and reusable solutions to real-life problems. The object-oriented techniques taught in this book will help you write cleaner, more readable and more maintainable Perl programs." "Whether you're a complete newcomer to object orientation, a refugee from C++, or just another Perl hacker looking to extend your skills, this book will take you from first principles to practical techniques, and on to the deepest mysteries of object orientation.

Techniques and tricks to master basic and advanced OO Perl for programmers who already have basic to intermediate skills in procedural Perl.

Programmers who already have basic to intermediate skills in procedural Perl and understand fundamental concepts of object orientation will get a solid understanding of basic and advanced object-oriented Perl. This book clarifies when, where and why to use Perl. Featuring many techniques and tricks, it presents solutions to common programming problem and explains how to combine Perl and C++.

Perl users learn tools and techniques that can be used to create and manipulate graphics with the Perl programming language. Topics range from simple graphics recipes to the development and design of flexible graphics software. Between these two extremes are examples of more complex uses of selected modules, such as using graphics in Web applications, and more general techniques for dealing with graphics and graphics formats. Reviews the programming language and covers topics including inheritance, polymorphism, Class::Struct and Class::Methodmaker modules, Perl ties and closures, operator overloading, encapsulation, and multiple dispatch.
