DESCRIPTION
Perl Tools is a comprehensive discussion of the real-world requirements for developing software intended to support the work of a busy software development office. No longer will this software be overlooked, doomed to half-measures and insufficient control and documentation. The Toolsmith provides practical ways to bring tool development under control and proceed with the development of reusable and effective tools without sacrificing maintainability.
All example code is in Perl, the core language for tool development. The reason is simple. Its philosophy overlaps that of the Toolsmith precisely: Perl is for getting work done.
Perl Tools investigates processes, procedures, organizational arrangements, and policies for tool development. The author also presents discussions of the critical interfaces to automation and several example projects which illustrate interfaces and principles of solid interface design.
