Run Perl Scripts on Linux: Quick Guide
To run a Perl script on Linux, follow these steps:
- Make sure your Linux system has the Perl interpreter installed. You can check if Perl is installed by typing perl -v in the terminal.
- Create a new Perl script file, for example myscript.pl.
- 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.
- Insert your Perl script code into the file.
- Save and close the script file.
- In the terminal, use the command chmod +x myscript.pl to give the script file executable permission.
- 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.
