		<content:encoded><![CDATA[As an important part of PHP 5.3's new features, closures have quickly made a mark on the language's field. This is due to their versatile nature, which allows programmers to utilize them in a wide variety of use cases and situations. They not only yield great results when processing array elements in all sorts of clever ways; it's fairly easy to get excellent results with them in the object-oriented programming arena as well. The best way to show you how using anonymous functions can help you to develop more efficient OO applications is with some functional, hands-on examples. With this idea i...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[Unquestionably, the release of PHP 5.3.x, along with the imminent arrival of PHP 5.4 (at least, at the time of this writing), clearly show the level of maturity that the language has reached in the last few years. The inclusion of support for native namespaces, Late Static Binding, a largely improved SPL and of course the long-awaited traits, are all part of the wealth of niceties that PHP offers to picky developers. Although most of these features have found their own niche over time (with the sole exception of traits, for obvious reasons), there's one more that, because of its versatile natu...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[Escape Sequences  UTF8 gives us 65536 characters, and ASCII gives us 256 characters, but on the average keyboard, there's only a hundred or so keys. Even using the shift keys, there will still be some characters that you aren't going to be able to type. There'll also be some things that you don't want to stick in the middle of your program, because they would make it messy or confusing. However, you'll want to refer to some of these characters in strings that you output. Perl provides us with mechanisms called escape sequences as an alternative way of getting to them. We've already seen the us...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[Program Structure  One of the things we want to develop throughout this book is a sense of good programming practice. Obviously this will not only benefit you while using Perl, but in almost every other programming language too.

Documenting Your Programs   As we mentioned earlier, a line starting with a hash, or pound sign ( # ), is treated as a comment, and ignored.
