Hey everyone!
So, I’m super new to Perl and kinda stuck on the basics. Like, *how do I run a Perl program*? I wrote a simple script (hello.pl or whatever), but I’m not sure how to actually make it *do* stuff.
Do I just type `perl hello.pl` in the terminal? Or is there some other magic trick I’m missing? Also, do I need to install anything extra? My script runs but throws some weird errors, so I’m guessing I messed up somewhere.
Any tips for a total noob? Thanks in advance!
P.S. If there’s a better way to run Perl scripts, lmk. I’m all ears!
