Author: Sam Phillips Posted: 12/4/1998; 2:22:33 PM Topic: Linux for Dummies? Msg #: 812 (In response to 799) Prev/Next: 811 / 813
Place this in a text file:==START PERL SCRIPT== #!/usr/bin/perl
print "Hello World\n";
==END PERL SCRIPT==
Then execute on the command line as
perl whatever_you_saved_your_file_as
If you want to directly execute the script on the command line, you need to set the file as executable.
chmod x your_script_name
Then you can execute your program on the command line as
./your_script_name
