This course comprises 23 audio-video spoken tutorials, using which you can self-learn PERL programming language with ease.

STEP 1-

First of all install PERL by following the steps given in this sheet.

https://spoken-tutorial.org/PERL-Installation-Sheet-English.pdf/

This sheet gives the steps to install the PERL on Linux and Windows OS.
Open the sheet, read the instructions for your OS and install PERL on your machine.
Cross-verify (as mentioned in the sheet) to confirm successful installation.
For Windows OS, please ensure Notepad ++ is also installed on the machine.

STEP 2-

Next, read this sheet. https://spoken-tutorial.org/PERL-Instruction-Sheet-English.pdf/

This sheet explains how to learn from spoken tutorials.
This sheet also mentions some important information about the text editors while coding, how to use the command prompt (in Windows OS), how to use the Code Files, how to do the Assignments, etc.
Read this sheet carefully and make a note of all the information, before you begin.

STEP 3-
Follow the side-by-side learning methodology while learning from spoken tutorials - watch the video, listen to the instructions, pause the video, try out the command on your system. You should get the exact same results as shown in the video. If successful, proceed with the video. Else, rewind and watch the video again and replicate the commands shown.

Introduction to Perl

Perl (Practical Extraction & Reporting Language) is widely used open-source language. It was originally developed by Larry Wall in 1987 as a general-purpose Unix scripting language to make report processing easier. Since then, it has undergone many changes and revisions and become widely popular amongst programmers. Larry Wall continues to work on development of the core language, and its upcoming version, Perl 6. Perl borrows features from other programming languages including C, shell scripting (sh), AWK, and sed. The language provides powerful text processing facilities, facilitating easy manipulation of text files. Perl gained widespread popularity in the late 1990s as a CGI scripting language, in part due to its parsing abilities.

Perl can be used as a very simple and easy to use programming language. This language helps programmer to write a simple piece of code against the heavy / complicated shell or C programming. This language is portable and reliable. Useful for applications requiring Pattern Matching extensively

The Spoken Tutorial effort for Perl Basic level has been contributed by Amol Brahmankar from Pune and Intermediate level by Nirmala Venkat from Spoken Tutorials and was supported with domain reviews by Namrata Gaikwad from Pune.

Learners: UG/PG CSE/IT/CS students to learn programming of business applications.
