And That s Not All

And That's Not All

As I demonstrated, the unmatchable power of Perl in the data processing world makes it the ideal candidate for XML processing, which just happens to be text data itself. Perl is great, more than great. As Larry Wall sayings go, "It makes difficult things easy and impossible things possible," and, "There is more than one way to do it with Perl." Both are very true, and you can only begin to realize that with practical experience.

In the following chapters, I will show you how Perl and XML are basically intertwined. As this book focuses on actually providing example solutions to problems, you'll be able to quickly apply these skills in your real world Perl XML application.
