Amazon.com Review
This large box set represents the state of the art in Perl for 32-bit Windows systems. In this package, you have the Perl core modules, extensions, utilities, and scores of excellent technical documentation. If you want to develop Perl software under Windows NT or other modern Windows environments, you need the Perl Resource Kit-- Win32 Edition.

The CD-ROM is the big news here. It contains the Win32 Perl core binaries, plus PerlCtrl, PerlCOM, PL2EXE, and Perl for Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI). You'll also find Perl Web-server extensions and the ActiveState Perl Debugger environment. All this is in addition to the examples from the books! Perhaps best of all, the disk holds the language's source files. Yes, you could get most of this software online, but the convenience of having all the binaries and source together on a CD-ROM--to say nothing of the documentation--makes the Perl Resource Kit--Win32 Edition extraordinary and worthwhile. --David Wall

Product Description
The Perl Resource Kit -- Win32 Edition is an essential tool for Perl programmers who are expanding their platform expertise to include Win32, and for Win32 Webmasters and system administrators who have discovered the power and flexibility of Perl. The Kit contains some of the latest commercial Win32 Perl software from Dick Hardt's ActiveState Tool Corp., along with a collection of Perl modules that run on Win32, and a definitive documentation set from O'Reilly. The Perl Resource Kit -- Win32 Edition provides: * 1,800 pages of in-depth documentation covering hundreds of Perl modules and detailed instructions on the new Win32 Perl software. The books in the Kit are not available elsewhere and include:

  • Programming with Perl Modules, by Erik Olson
  • Perl Module Reference, two volumes compiled and edited by David Futato
* A CD-ROM containing the complete Perl for Win32 5.005 distribution, plus new commercial Win32 Perl software, including Perl debugger, Visual Package Manager, PerlCOM, PerlCtrl, Network Install, and Win32 Perl Help from O'Reilly.

5.0 out of 5 stars The PRK is a must have!, January 7, 1999
By A Customer
The $120 bucks is money well-spent, especially if you program with perl modules. The collection of tools has made my life much easier, and the examples have opened my mind to things that I had no idea that perl could do. A good deal of space is dedicated to CGI programming (including Lincoln Stein's invaluable cgi.pm module) and Active Server Pages (perlScript). If you are serious about web programming, you will find these resources very useful. There is also a good deal of information about perl/Tk. Don't buy this if you have never looked at perl before: It is not intended for beginners. However, I strongly recommend it for intermediate to advanced perl users.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific PERL resource!, June 23, 1999
By A Customer
I have bought many books from Amazon, but I have never come back to write a review. I found this purchase to be my best resource, yet. Lots of perl resources in one location and a terrific debugger too. The debugger has an interface that is similar to Visual C++ Developer. If you don't want to spend all your time looking up information on intermediate to advance perl subjects, get this resource kit. The books alone will save you a lot of time.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great place to start learning Perl, January 6, 1999
By A Customer
All the stuff you need in one box.

OK ... the documentation is not so great, but the ease of installing Perl and all those Modules is well worth the price.

The update feature is great ... especially if you have a higher than 28k connection.

The module install is fabulous for the NON-UNIX GURU TYPE WHO SPENDS ALL DAY PLAYING WITH SEMANTICS. In other words it is for those who do not want or need to figure out how to install modules and make them work.

I found the installation easy and straight forward.

Yes, you could spend your lifetime searching and downloading modules and figuring out how to set them up ---- OR ---- you could buy this and get productive real quick.

I give it a 4 star rating. Not bad for a first cut.

4.0 out of 5 stars Could have done more with reference
The Perl Utilities Guide, and Programming with Perl Modules books are very good. However, the reference to the modules is simply the perldoc pages neatly bound. Read more
