  • "Higher-Order Perl is about functional programming techniques in Perl. It's about how to write functions that can modify and manufacture other functions."@en
  • "Most Perl programmers were originally trained as C and Unix programmers, so the Perl programs that they write bear a strong resemblance to C programs. However, Perl incorporates many features that have their roots in other languages such as Lisp. These advanced features are not well understood and are rarely used by most Perl programmers, but they are very powerful. They can automate tasks in everyday programming that are difficult to solve in any other way. One of the most powerful of these techniques is writing functions that manufacture or modify other functions. For example, instead of writing ten similar functions, a programmer can write a general pattern or framework that can then create the functions as needed according to the pattern. For several years Mark Jason Dominus has worked to apply functional programming techniques to Perl. Now Mark brings these flexible programming methods that he has successfully taught in numerous tutorials and training sessions to a wider audience."
  • "Most Perl programmers, including the inventor of Perl, were originally trained as C and UNIX programmers. So the Perl programs that they write bear a strong resemblance to C programs. But Perl incorporates many features that have their roots in non-C programming languages such as LISP. These advanced features are not well understood and are rarely used by most Perl programmers, but they are very powerful. They can automate tasks in everyday programming that are difficult to solve any other way, and also serve as an introduction to the techniques of functional programming for those who have not."@en
