Chapter 17. Creating Modules

As you have seen, a main feature of Perl is its extensive module library. Modules are available for just about everything. But there are some things you just can’t find a module for. In that case, Perl provides you the tools to write your own.

Note that the examples used in this chapter have been generated and tested on a Linux system. They should work the same way on any UNIX system. Microsoft Window, users will notice minor differences in the generation process. Also note that the module described here is Linux/UNIX operating system dependent.
