Running a Perl Program

Perl was originally intended for use under Unix, but has since been ported to the PC.

We’ll assume a Unix (Linux) environment here.

#!/usr/bin/perl

print("Out of the oyster!\n"); # comment

Make sure the file is executable:

chmod +x howdy.pl

Run the program from the command line:

./howdy.pl
