Programming Web Services with Perl

[MrZen]

Programming Web Services with Perl brings Perl users all the information they need to create web services using their favorite language. It steers clear of the hype surrounding web services and concentrates on what is useful and practical. It was written for Perl programmers who have no prior knowledge of web services. You can pick it up without any understanding of XML-RPC or SOAP and be able to apply these technologies easily, through the use of publicly available Perl modules detailed in the book. The book introduces the major web services standards, such as XML-RPC, SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI, and shows how to implement Perl servers and clients using these standards. You'll find detailed references on both the XML and SOAP toolkits, and will learn when to use one technology in favor of the other. It is rich with programming examples that you'll find useful well past the learning stage. And, moving beyond the basics, the book offers solutions to problems of security, authentication, and scalability.
