Product DescriptionThe Perl language is well suitedfor use with “data munging” tasks: those that involve transforming andmassaging data. While Perl is commonly used for such tasks, there hasbeen no book focused on the topic of munging. This book covers thebasic paradigms of programming and discusses the many techniques thatare specific to Perl. It also examines standard data formats such astext, binary, HTML, and XML before giving tips on creating and parsingnew structured data formats. Source code downloads and technicalsupport from the authors are available on publisher’s Web site.
