| Perl's ease of use in writing network applications has spawned a large number of high-level modules for everything from sending e-mail to accessing Web servers. There are many dozens of user - contributed network client modules, ranging in complexity from a few to a few thousand lines of code. Part II covers some of the popular client modules and shows how you can use them to solve typical problems. They are built on top of the Berkeley socket API that we discussed in earlier chapters. |
