0. PERL is an interpreted language. Write the script and run it. Here are the steps for BSD/UNIX/Solaris/Linux platforms. Run your script from the command line (aka shell). a simple hello world program in Perl. #!/usr/bin/env perl use warnings; print "hello world"; exit 0; assuming you write the above program in a file hello.pl you change the permissions on the file by chmod +x hello.pl Now on the shell, you just run the program as $ ./hello.pl Points to note: 1. perl interpreter path is not hard coded 2. 'env' is specified to find and execute 'perl' 3. 'use warnings' replaces -w flag 4. 'exit 0' marks the end of the script Hope this helps. thanks Saifi.
