Perl Programming

Perl is a general purpose programming language, optimised for scanning text files, extracting information from files and generating reports based on the obtained information. It is capable of scanning large amounts of data in a very quick manner. It is also capable of dealing with binary data. Perl is used by system administrators as a powerful scripting language, programmers and network designers for data manipulation, WWW programming for parsing and generating HTML, controlling mail, CGI programming, etc. Perl source code is available free and is implemented on most operating systems (including all versions of Microsoft Windows and .Net, Mac, VMS as well as mainframe MVS and OS/400). The course is run on a Linux platform, but is applicable to other operating systems. On completion, delegates will be able to:- Use all significant features of the Perl 5 programming language - Develop Perl programmes containing advanced Perl constructs - Read and understand the extensive Perl reference manual - Implement advanced data stream handling - Use functions, modules, and subroutines - Run and control external programs - Write programs manipulating files and directories - Write powerful report generating programmes implementing Regular Expressions - Appreciate the mechanisms involved in Object Oriented Programming with Perl
