course home

As course designed for absolute beginners, this will be your first formal introduction to Perl. We'll ease you into Perl by covering fundamentals like variables (scalars, arrays, hashes), control structures (for,while,do), and functions. You'll see how to read and write data to and from files and create scripts to help you automate your work. There will be readings from the "Learning Perl" book for each session and assignments which will help you practise and gain experience.
