Perl generally comes with Linux distributions.

I agree with Kevin, I believe that Perl should be there by default, unless you chose NOT to install it during installation.

Simply open your command line and type "which perl" and it will tell you where it is. You can also type "perl -v" after that and it will tell you what version it is. The newest version is 5.10, but it may be 5.8.x that is installed.

Jeff

Perl should be installed with your distribution. Which distrobution are you using? I know in Redhat if you install the development tools you are fine.


Here is a sime perl program. Just use the vi editor

# ! /usr/bin/perl
#Simple perl program

print ("This is a simple perl program")


save this

then run ./sample.pl

you may have to change priv to execute.

chmod ugo + x sample.pl
