Perl Primer Tutorial
Here is a tutorial that introduces you to some aspects of Perl.
Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language.
Though Perl is not officially an acronym,[4] there are various backronyms in use, such as: Practical Extraction and Reporting Language.[5] Perl was originally developed by Larry Wall in 1987 as a general-purpose Unix scripting language to make report processing easier.[6] Since then, it has undergone many changes and revisions. The latest major stable revision is 5.16, released in May 2012. Perl 6 is a complete redesign of the language, announced in 2000 and still under active development as of 2013.
I’ve been curious about Perl, but have not used it extensively. Notice the Linux CentOS server code to monitor MySql performance is written in Perl, though. Sorry for that totally irrelevant diversion.
Let’s see some simple Perl in action …

Link to some downloadable Linux Bash Perl programming code … rename to hello.pl for use.
Link to some downloadable Perl Web Server programming code … rename to test.pl for use.
