For courses in Windows Programming.
Scripting has become an enormously popular method of managing and maintaining Windows NT and 2000 networks. Simpler than programming, yet allowing greater complexity and utility than packaged network management tools, scripting is now the tool of choice of network administrators. Perl is yet another powerful element of the scripting arsenal, yet since it has been ported to the Windows environment, very little information has been published on how to employ this extremely effective tool. Win32 Perl is so powerful that it can accomplish virtually any task that you may want to perform. Dave Roth, prolific creator of Win32 extensions, has prepared his unique insight into how these tasks can be accomplished and provides scripts that can be immediately employed by students. This book illustrates how Perl can automate many current mundane administrative tasks.
