Perl Books that cover Specific Topics
Perl has many third-party APIs available on CPAN, many of which interface it with existing APIs written in other languages. If you have a task that needs performing, chances are that Perl is exactly the right tool for the job.
Many specialized books were written to cover the specific technologies and their application to Perl. Alternatively, these books cover specific topics and in it cover several CPAN modules that can do the job.
Since there are so many books like that out there, we will simply provide links to the book pages on the Perl books registry, where you can find more information, and reviews
