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

Hey there! You’re almost there. `perl hello.pl` is correct, but if you’re getting errors, it’s likely a syntax issue. Perl can be a bit finicky with semicolons and brackets.

Try running `perl -w hello.pl` to enable warnings—it’ll give you more info on what’s going wrong.

Also, if you’re on Windows, make sure your PATH includes Perl. Sometimes that’s the issue.
