A Word About PERL

Your system may be equipped with PERL, a scripting language familiar to users of UNIX and certain other operating systems. Consult your system manager to determine whether PERL is installed on your system.

A complete description of the PERL language is beyond the scope of this book. However, many such books may be found at your local bookstore or online bookseller, and numerous PERL-related Web sites may be found with your favorite Internet search engine.
