How do you run a Perl script?
To run a perl script, you can follow these steps:
- Make sure that the Perl interpreter is installed on your system. Most Linux and Unix systems come with Perl pre-installed by default, while on Windows systems, you can download and install the Perl interpreter from the official Perl website.
- Write a Perl script file with the extension “.pl”.
- Open the terminal or command prompt, and navigate to the directory where the Perl script is stored.
- Run the following command to execute the Perl script:
- Run the Perl script named scriptname.pl
- “scriptname.pl” is the name of your Perl script file.
- The Perl interpreter will parse and execute the code in the script file, and output the results.
