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

Hey! Running a Perl program is as simple as `perl hello.pl`. If it’s not working, check your script for syntax errors. Perl is super picky about semicolons and brackets.

Also, try running `perl -cw hello.pl` to check syntax and enable warnings. It’ll give you more info on what’s wrong.

If you’re on Windows, make sure Perl is in your PATH. Sometimes that’s the issue.
