Ive programmed in perl on windows. There you just ran i DOS prompt. How do i use perl in linux. I suppose it has something to do with the terminal but what commands do i run?

Quite simply "perl"

If you have a basic perl script you can spcify the interpreter on the shebang line:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl



print "Hello World!";



exit;

Make it executable:
chmod 700 /path/to/script.pl

Then run it:
/path/to/script.pl
