Web Client Programming with Perl: Automating Tasks on the Web (A Nutshell handbook) Review by Jason C. Norman
Too shallow.
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.
