Is there a l link to a brief summary of perl (5-10 pages)? What is the proper syntax to set LC_ALL for within a perl script?
I want to run linux commands like sort, grep, uniq from within a perl script. But I want them to optionally continue to act like pipes. For example, I want ./perlsort to act like linux sort but force a flag on such as - n so: ./perlsort file.txt would act like linux sort -n file.txt Additionally, I want "./perlsort <file.txt" to act like "sort -n <file.txt" and "./perlsort file.txt" to act like "sort -n file.txt". This group has been very helpful but to be self-sufficient I'd appreciate any suggestions to get up to speed quickly with perl. Is there a 'bible' out there to read?
