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

18 Replies, 1470 Views

Running a Perl program is as simple as typing `perl hello.pl` in the terminal. If it’s not working, double-check your script for typos or missing semicolons. Perl is picky about syntax!

Also, make sure your file has execute permissions if you’re on Linux/Mac. You can set it with `chmod +x hello.pl`.

For learning, check out learn.perl.org—it’s got great tutorials for beginners.
