Intermediate Perl
Perl is a versatile, powerful programming language used in a variety of disciplines, ranging from system administration to web programming to database manipulation. One slogan of Perl is that it makes easy things easy and hard things possible. Intermediate Perl is about making the leap from the easy things to the hard ones. Originally released in 2003 as Learning Perl Objects, References, and Modules and revised and updated for Perl 5.8, this book offers a gentle but thorough introduction to intermediate programming in Perl. Written by the authors of the best-selling Learning Perl, it picks up where that book left off. Topics include: - Packages and namespaces
- References and scoping
- Manipulating complex data structures
- Object-oriented programming
- Writing and using modules
- Testing Perl code
- Contributing to CPAN
Following the successful format of Learning Perl, we designed each chapter in the book to be small enough to be read in just an hour or two, ending with a series of exercises to help you practice what you've learned. To use the book, you just need to be familiar with the material in Learning Perl and have ambition to go further. Perl is a different language to different people. It is a quick scripting tool for some, and a fully-featured object-oriented language for others. It is used for everything from performing quick global replacements on text files, to crunching huge, complex sets of scientific data that take weeks to process. Perl is what you make of it. But regardless of what you use Perl for, this book helps you do it more effectively, efficiently, and elegantly. Intermediate Perl is about learning to use Perl as a programming language, and not just a scripting language. This is the book that turns the Perl dabbler into the Perl programmer. .

The Secret Art of Pressure Point Fighting: Techniques to Disable Anyone in Seconds Using Minimal Force
Ancient martial arts legends tell of masters who possess a mysterious ability to defeat an opponent — and in some cases even cause death — with one perfectly placed blow. The Secret Art of Pressure Point Fighting transforms the myth into a modern, anatomically -based self-defense technique that allows smaller defenders to defeat larger attackers by striking at the vulnerable points on their bodies. Written by one of the world's leading authorities and clearly illustrated with photos of each pressure point, this book shows how knowledge of the body's vulnerable points can enhance both competitive fighting and personal self-defense skills. The Secret Art of Pressure Point Fighting doesn't teach theoretical strikes, it presents the actual moves used throughout the world by military special forces and law enforcement agencies to disable opponents as quickly as possible. The moves in this book are straightforward and easy to learn. They are designed to empower anyone — regardless of size or physical strength — with the ability to stop an attacker using a minimal amount of physical strength. .

Shadow Syndromes: The Mild Forms of Major Mental Disorders That Sabotage Us
Freud once said that nobody is "normal," and after reading Shadow Syndromes, you may well be convinced of that. While more than 50 million Americans suffer from full-fledged mental illnesses such as depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder, millions more suffer from milder forms--yet they likely don't realize it. From chronic sadness to low self-esteem to shopping addiction to intermittent rage disorder, compassionate authors John J. Ratey, M.D. and Catherine Johnson, Ph.D. chronicle the often-undiagnosed (yet definitely insidious) "shadow" disorders. One of the most eye-opening points the authors make is that men who "can't commit" to a relationship may in fact be suffering from an unrecognized adult form of attention deficit disorder. Shadow Syndromes is thorough, but at the same time it simplifies the technical aspects of mental illnesses--no stacks of footnotes or complicated neurotransmitter charts here. The authors use plenty of anecdotes to illustrate how everyday people have recognized and overcome shadow syndromes. They also prevent the book from becoming one big bundle of bad news by stressing that these disorders are treatable with medications such as Prozac, which Johnson took to handle her mild depression. Specific lifestyle changes are also advised, including more sleep, changes in diet, and more exercise. The "Care and Feeding of the Brain" chapter compiles other empowering, healing approaches. This book will be valuable not only for those who believe they're suffering from a shadow syndrome, but for doctors and therapists as well. --Erica Jorgensen.

Minimal Perl: For UNIX and Linux People
A guide to a carefully designed subset of the Perl language, this book makes Perl more accessible to those having UNIX/Linux skill levels ranging from elementary to expert by capitalizing on their existing knowledge of important utilities (grep, awk), or essential concepts (filters, command substitution, looping). Dozens of detailed programming examples are shown, drawn from contemporary application areas such as system administration, networking, Web development, databases, finance, HTML, CGI, and text analysis. Broken into two parts, the first is for all who are familiar with core UNIX/Linux commands such as grep and caters to readers ranging from managers and administrative staff to advanced programmers. The second part is for developers experienced in Bourne, Korn, Bash, or POSIX Shell programming and makes Perl scripting easy to learn by showing Shell examples along with their Perl counterparts. Many Perl modules are covered including freely available pre-written code from the CPAN. .
