Run Perl Scripts on Linux: Quick Guide

To run a Perl script on Linux, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure your Linux system has the Perl interpreter installed. You can check if Perl is installed by typing perl -v in the terminal.
  2. Create a new Perl script file, for example myscript.pl.
  3. Adding #!/usr/bin/perl at the beginning of the script file is a command that tells the Linux system to use the Perl interpreter to execute the script.
  4. Insert your Perl script code into the file.
  5. Save and close the script file.
  6. In the terminal, use the command chmod +x myscript.pl to give the script file executable permission.
  7. To run the script file, you can execute the script by typing ./myscript.pl in the terminal.

This way, you will be able to successfully run Perl scripts on a Linux system.
