PERL
Examples of Perl Scripts

PERL is a scripting language. It is designed to assist programmers with common tasks that are too complicated for the shell, but not really necessary to attack with a full blown program.

Usage:

script.pl

Will run your PERL script named script.pl, assuming that is its name, and that you have set it to have execute permission, and that the first line of the script is

            #!/usr/bin/perl
          

Related Data and Programs:

Simple example programs or scripts are also available for a C version, and a C++ version, and a FORTRAN77 version, and a FORTRAN90 version, and a MATLAB version and a Python version.
