Outline Review
If you've ever wanted to learn more about Web protocols so you could build custom client-side tools to automate tasks--or just so you have a better understanding of what's happening behind the scenes--then Web Client Programming with Perl is the book for you. Wong explains HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) requests and socket calls, then shows how you can use the LWP library for Perl to retrieve Web pages, parse HTML, check whether a server is responding, and more.
Product Description
Web Client Programming with Perl shows you how to extend scripting skills to the Web. This book teaches you the basics of how browsers communicate with servers and how to write your own customized Web clients to automate common tasks. It is intended for those who are motivated to develop software that offers a more flexible and dynamic response than a standard Web browser. Using this book, you'll learn how to:- Automate repetitive queries on the Web
- Detect broken hyperlinks on your site
- Write simple "robots" that traverse hyperlinks across a site, and across the Web in general
Most of the examples in this book use Perl, a versatile and portable language that is already familiar to many CGI programmers and UNIX power users. The book does not teach Perl, but the techniques used should be easily followed by anyone with some programming background and can be adapted to whatever language you choose.

| When I found this book years ago, it opened up a new door for me. There was literally nothing out there on the subject, let alone one that addressed the needs of a novice like me. The writer clearly knew who his audience was. If you are the kind who has a firm grasp of GET, POST and so on, you probably don't need this book. Otherwise, if you want to DRIVE on the internet on your own, this book is the one. I'm sure it's still very relevant. It skips the stuff that might confuse you (and there is a lot more of that nowadays). | | | | Great book for learning and a bargain Sep 17, 2006 |
The book is a bit outdated now but still good for learning Perl and HTTP/web client programming that can be adapted for other languages as well. And since it's old, you can get it for cheap online and at used bookstores.
And for those stingy folks out there, you can read it online instead at the O'Reilly Open Book project:

| Living in the Shenandoah Valley, the book made a lot of sense to me and provided information as to J. Hotchkiss' early life and his life after the war. I grew up in Roanoke, Va. which was the headquarters for the Norfolk & Western RR, and reading about how Hotchkiss helped the RR to expand into SW Va. and into W. Va. was interesting. Also about his desire to get a physical map of Va. published and how he worked with William B. Rogers the State Geologists (namesake for the highest mountain in Va.). The bottom line is this book is a history book and it follows the title in its content. | | |  | Oh My good lord! What happened? Jun 29, 2003 |
| I see little that could improve upon this book. Its examples are awful and assume a knowledge of Perl not expected of similar entry-level texts. Avoid this book unless you have a great solid background in Perl. But then again, if that's the case you probably wouldn't need this book. | | | | Too shallow. Oct 31, 2002 |
| I personally found this book much less informative than I was hoping. Most of the book is dedicated to explaining the ins and outs of HTTP. There is not enough sample code, and the code that is given is pretty basic. As far as information about programming web clients with perl, I have found that it is more helpful to just do web seraches, and read the examples available on various web sites. The book does do a good job of explaining HTTP and the how web clients operate. I just wish there had been more information about Perl clients specifically. I wouldn't pay [as much] for this book. Look for it used, it's not hard to find. | | | Write your own review about "A. W. Pink's Studies in the Scriptures, 1926-27, Vol. 03 of 17"
