SYNOPSIS
Higher-Order Perl is about functional programming techniques in Perl. It's about how to write functions that can modify and manufacture other functions. Why would you want to do that? Because that way your code is more flexible and more reusable. Instead of writing ten similar functions, you write a general pattern or framework that can generate the functions you want; then you generate just the functions you need according to the pattern. The program doesn't need to know in advance which functions are necessary; it can generate them as needed. Instead of writing the complete program yourself, you get the computer to write it for you. ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Mark Jason Dominus		Mark Jason Dominus has been programming in Perl professionally since 1992, when he was a Unix sysadmin with the University of Pennsylvania Department of Computer and Information Sciences. Mark is an occasional contributor to the Perl core, and is the author of the standard perlreftut man page. From 1999-2001 Mark was the managing editor of www.perl.com. Mark was a columnist for The Perl Journal for several years. All of his articles for TPJ have been reprinted in Computer Science and Perl Programming: Best of the Perl Journal, available from O'Reilly and Associates. Mark's other Perl-related articles have appeared in magazines such as Wired and IEEE Software. Since 1998 Mark has been a professional perl trainer. In addition to speaking at conferences such as YAPC, the O'Reilly Open Source Conferences, Usenix, and LISA, he has given training courses for large companies and organizations, including Morgan Stanley, IBM, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and the U.S. Air Force. Mark's book Higher Order Perl was published by Morgan Kaufmann in March, 2005. Mark is the author of several well-known and widely-used Perl modules, including Text::Template, Memoize, and Tie::File. Mark's work on Rx, a Perl regular expression debugger, won the 2000 Larry Wall Award for Practical Utility.
