DESCRIPTION
Individual Perl users will need different advanced
topics depending on their application. We offer two regular advanced
Perl courses (
Using Perl on the Web and
Perl for Larger Projects), but there are some topics that are
usually covered only on private courses. With a Perl Extra
day, we'll run a private course for you to cover just the extra
subjects that are relevant to you.
Perl Extra is only available to individual trainees who have attended one
of our public Perl courses, and require further advanced training
in a combination not offered by our other advanced training.
Dates are scheduled to be mutually convenient to the trainee and
the trainer.
PREREQUISITES
Knowledge of Perl as taught on our
Perl Programming or
Learning to program in Perl course. Some other prerequisites may also be
needed for some modules - you will be advised - and those other
subjects can also be covered on this course.

SUBJECT BACKGROUND
There is a very wide range indeed of facilities available in (and
associated with) Perl.
This is a tool
written by a community which fosters new innovation and code without a
commercial straightjacket at development time. The subjects covered on our
extra days can be very wide ranging indeed with this page giving you
just an introduction.
