PERL is commonly used to manipulate, move file and their content.
You need to make sure Perl is installed on the machine that will run your script. It sounds probably obvious but often obvious things are something not check when you have a problem.
When you are starting to code, it is probably the first thing you check but when you are migrating the machine or transfer the code to a new machine, you might not check first that PERL is installed and when you run the script you will have errors.
If you are running under Linux Distribution, you will need to add the link to the PERL engine at the beginning of your script
#!/usr/bin/perl
Here are some basic codes that you might use to start your engineering work and do recurrent tasks. If you want to know more about the PERL engine and all the PERL application, there are plenty of sites dedicated to PERL that you can google.
One of the languages that I have used and seen used is PERL.
In this post category, I will add the different codes that I know when you use PERL for your enginerring work or for your development tools.
You are welcome to add the articles you feel a software engineer need to improve efficiency.
