How do I create, and run a Perl script?

- 1 -

Enter:

vi hello.pl

Note:

To identify all your Perl programs, use a .pl file extension.

- 2 -

Enter the following program, then save and exit Vi:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

print "Hello, Perl!\n";

- 3 -

To run the program you need to make the file executable. To do this, enter:

chmod +x hello.pl

Note:

You only need to make the file executable once. After that you just modify and run.

To run the program, enter:

./hello.pl
