Class Description:
By the use of lectures, demonstrations and lab exercises,
this mini course will teach attendees how to effectively
use the Perl programming language, one of the best scripting
and web CGI languages across all platforms. Students will learn
Perl syntax, how variables, data structures and functions are
handled in Perl, searching techniques including using regular
expressions, and how to access and manipulate files.
Topics such as database connectivity, cgi web scripting and
using objects in Perl may be addressed if time permits.
Prerequisite:
Individuals with minimal prior scripting or programming knowledge/
experience, but not necessarily in Perl.
Some high level modular programming concepts would be helpful.
Targeted for:
Individuals with some prior programming knowledge and/or
scripting experience. This class is ideal for individuals
who wish to learn Perl from the ground up by engaging
their mind is solving challenging homework assignements
that require very few lines of code!
Handouts:
Copies of the course outline slides will be provided along with
relevant handouts when appropriate.
Content Outline Summary:
Session 1 - An Overview of Perl
- Getting started, and introduction to Perl and the power
of the language, comments and syntax, quoting, data types
and scalars variables, assignment statements, mathematical

Boolean expressions, logical connecting operators,
control flow branching and looping, scalar operators
including numeric and string.
- Introduction to regular
expression (RE) pattern matching.
Session 2- The Gory Details of Variables/RE/Lists/Arrays/Hashes
- Variables, data type and scalars review, including
topics such as auto conversion, auto-increment/decrement,
advanced assignment operators and operator precedence,

and short-ciruit logical operators.
- Then on to the
details of using regular expressions, lists,
list literals, range operators, splits and joins,
arrays, sub-elements, max subscript operator, foreach,
stacks and queues, push, pop, and shifts.
- Finally, an

Procedures and basic File I/O
- More details and examples on using associative arrays,
keys and values, sorting, and input/output.
- Discussion on the benefit of using local variables in Perl,
passing arguments to subroutines and returning back values.
- More on special Perl variables, file open statements and
file handles, ARGV for retrieving arguments from the
command line, scope and lifetime.
- Discussions on Perl access of environment variables,
Session 4- Advanced Techniques in Data Structures, Slices and File I/O
