how to practice PERL language

[foster_cn]

I think the book of "programming perl" is the best choice!

 

[bharat_in]

You need to have a book of perl,and than you can start writing small scripts related to data extracation from a file, string handlings and then you can go for more larger scripts.

If you are working on any project, then you can make a script for tasks which you want to automize (like code generation , testcase generation , regression running.. etc.)

Hope this helps.

how about Python
Python should be more powerful, but few IC engineer use it

 

[chetanbs]

no doubt python is powerful... but its utility is not much taking into consideration the syntax... no braces should be used etc.,

[varkylin]

the grammar of Perl is the same as C language,so it can quickly use it to do tons of things when you have studyed C language.

Hi,

I assume you have the perl package installed at your system. Perl is mainly used for the text processing. So try out very basic programs like patter search a string and print it on screen, take some numbers as inputs and find out the largest/smallest. Try out basic programs, when you are okay with that, proceed with the hashes.

Type - perldoc perlintro on your command line. Its a very good way of learning perl.

I have spent some time on using TCL language. What better feature does Pearl offer than TCL?

Added after 2 minutes:

Is there more complicated and systematic examples like what we would use in work?
