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

Welcome to Perl! You’re on the right track with `perl hello.pl`. If you’re getting errors, it’s likely a syntax issue. Perl is strict about semicolons and brackets, so double-check those.

For debugging, try `perl -w hello.pl` to enable warnings. It’ll give you more info on what’s going wrong.

Also, check out perldoc.perl.org for official docs—super helpful for beginners.
