The Course
Abstract

Perl is a language for easily manipulating text, files, and processes. It provides a more concise and readable way to do many jobs that were formerly accomplished (with difficulty) by programming with C or one of the shells. Perl is available for most computer architectures and can be downloaded and installed free of charge.

Participants in this course will learn about the complete range of features of the Perl programming language. Participants will learn the Perl language syntax, functions, library modules, references, and object-oriented features. The course also explores invocation options, debugging, common mistakes, and much more.
