<p> This course covers Perl's fundamentals to give an existing
programmer sufficient knowledge of Perl to work on most projects.
It assumes features from up to Perl 5.16, but includes
work-arounds for older versions. </p>
<p> The first half of this course will introduce the Perl
programming language, discuss Perl's variable types, functions,
operators, conditionals and subroutines. Once you grasp Perl's
basics, the second half will build on that knowledge to cover I/O,
complex data structures, file system interaction, modules,
packages and objects. </p>
<p> You will learn: </p>
<ul>
<li>how to write simple Perl scripts and run them from the
command-line; </li>
<li> how to use Perl's inbuilt help system, perldoc; </li>
<li> how to use warnings and strict to catch common errors and
enforce good programming style; </li>
<li> about Perl's three main data types and how (and when) to use
them; </li>
<li> about Perl's most common operators and functions; </li>
<li> how to use Perl's conditional and looping constructs; </li>
<li> how to write and use subroutines; </li>
<li> about Perl's powerful regular expression capabilities and how
to apply them to your problem; </li>
<li> how to create, dereference and use references to build
complex data structures which allow multi-dimensional arrays and
hashes. </li>
<li> how to write and use Perl modules and packages; </li>
<li> how to use Module::Starter to start your modules off on the
right foot; </li>
<li> how to write tests; </li>
<li> how to use Perl objects; </li>
<li> how to interact with the file system to read and write files,
and read directories; </li>

pitfalls therein; </li>
</ul>
