To learn Perl, you must be comfortable with Unix OS (Operating System). Unix defaultly comes with perl, shell and python compilers. If you want to work on window platform, you will need to download binary for Win32 API. The best environment to learn Perl is Unix. Once you have any Unix flavor, you do not need to download or install any software. You simply start using your emac (Text editor for Unix) to write your perl code. After you've entered and saved the program make sure the file is executable by using the command chmod u+x progname at the UNIX prompt, where progname is the filename of the program. Now to run the program just type any of the following at the prompt. perl progname ./progname progname If something goes wrong then you may get error messages, or you may get nothing. You can always run the program with warnings using the command perl -w progname at the prompt. This will display warnings and other (hopefully) helpful messages before it tries to execute the program. To run the program with a debugger use the command perl -d progname Here is example of perl program. #!/usr/local/bin/perl # # Program to do the obvious # print 'Hello world.'; # Print a message Save the program as directed above and run.

Mind you Perl is very easy to learn. It will take you at most two days to learn Perl. Look at the API. very small and it points to only one location i.e. #!/usr/local/bin/perl This is called the shebang! Must be included in any Perl script. Don't expect any help with learning Perl. It is a very easy script language. It could be used by Unix administrator to automate tasks and could be used as a CGI (Common Gateway Interface) for web application development. Then off-course powerful script like PHP has taken over perl in web application development. Perl could be used for software integration and bridge between application configuration scripts. |

Just a thought -- PERL is the best language when it comes to writing regular expressions [regexp]. Just a thought for those waiting on the lines and refusing to jump on. |
