Introduction to Perl Programming: Hands-On

 
Course: 431   Type: Hands-On Training   Duration: 4 Days
 
 

You Will Learn How To

  • Quickly create effective, reusable Perl scripts
  • Take advantage of Perl 5's many small operators and built-in functions
  • Structure code with user-generated subroutines
  • Exploit the many additional object-oriented packages available on the Internet
  • Build real-world scripts that can be used on UNIX, Linux and Win32 platforms
  • Solve complex data manipulation tasks with ease

Course Benefits

Perl is a powerful object-oriented scripting language used extensively with UNIX, Linux, Win32 and the Internet. In this course, you learn to write reusable scripts with Perl 5. Through intensive exercises, you learn to use Perl in your operating system and application environments as well as apply built-in functions of the language and make use of external modules.

Who Should Attend

UNIX, Linux and Windows administrators, software engineers, programmers and power users. Previous experience with a procedural or object-oriented programming language is assumed. Knowledge of UNIX scripting tools and regular expressions is helpful.

Hands-On Training

During this course, you perform extensive exercises that provide in-depth, hands-on experience. Exercises include:
  • Parsing and manipulating text with Perl regular expressions
  • Reading and writing standard I/O streams and real-world data files
  • Extracting and arranging information from multiple files
  • Empowering scripts by using supplied and third-party OO modules
  • Building network-capable scripts to access e-mail, database and Web servers
