What You Need!
Install Perl from its official website.
Also install CPAN for easy acquisition of modules.
Get an editor like Notepad++ or Padre, the Perl IDE.
Note: We recommend Notepad++ for its auto-completion for
braces and quotes.
(To turn its auto-completion on, click on
Settings >> Preferences >> Auto-Completion.
Running Perl Codes
To run perl codes, open a command shell (or the perl command shell)
and type perl filename.pl.
You can also run perl codes directly from the Padre editor.
Notice: Our colour coding follows that of Notepad++.
