How do I run a Perl program? A beginner's guide to getting started

Yep, `perl hello.pl` is the way to go! If you’re on Windows, you might need to install Strawberry Perl or ActivePerl. On Linux/Mac, Perl is usually pre-installed.

If your script is throwing errors, paste the error message here, and we can help debug. Also, check out perldoc.perl.org for official docs—super helpful for beginners.

Pro tip: Use an IDE like Padre or VS Code with Perl extensions for easier coding and debugging.
