Writing Internet Services in Perl will be published by
Addision-Weseley around the end of 2002 or early 2003.
This is an advanced-level book covering the details of writing servers and clients using
common Internet protocols in Perl. It includes examples of full working programs that
implement servers and clients for each of the protocols detailed in the book. It also
includes a section wherein I walk you through the steps of designing and implementing
a new Internet protocol.
Sometime around the middle of January 2002 I will be looking for beta testers to test
the code. I will also start a mailing list to discuss the programs and the book as I
write them.
If you would like to be notified as more details become available, please sign up for my
occasional newsletter.
Note: If you were looking for Bill Weinman's The CGI Book, you are in the right place. Part
of this new effort will be the long-anticipated update of The CGI Book. To keep up-to-date with
Bill's projects, sign up for his
occasional newsletter.
