Even if you've never programmed before, you are only a short step away from automating those small tasks that you repeat all the time: this book will show you how to get started programming using Perl, which is available for almost any system you can think of (it may well be installed on your computer already). But Perl is not just for the small stuff, it's also behind some huge web sites such as BBC iPlayer. With this book, you'll be starting a journey that could lead anywhere!
