Mastering Algorithms with Perl

Mastering Algorithms with Perl

Many programmers would love to use , for projects that involve heavy lifting, but miss the many traditional algorithms that textbooks teach for other languages. Computer scientists have identified many techniques that a wide range of programs need, such as: Fuzzy pattern matching for text (identify misspellings!), Finding correlations in data, Game-playing algorithms, Predicting phenomena such as Web traffic, Polynomial and spline fitting.,

Using algorithms explained in this book, you too can carry out traditional , tasks in a high-powered, efficient, easy-to-maintain manner with Perl.,

This book assumes a , understanding of Perl syntax and functions, but not necessarily any background in computer science. The authors explain in a readable fashion the reasons for using various classic programming techniques, the kind of applications that use them, and – most important – how to code these algorithms in Perl.
