HOW TO USE PERL UNDER MYSERVER


Perl is another widely used scripting language perfect for text manipulation and web database management. Perl also works with HTML and XML as well as other markup languages. With Perl's CGI.pm module, included with the standard distribution, HTML forms are easily handled.

In order to use Perl, you must first make sure you have an interpreter.

On UNIX like systems to find out where perl is, use the command:

type perl


In order to use Perl in Windows you must first install it.  The interpreter and documentation can be found at the Active State Tool Company.

More information and samples of code can be found at The Perl web site ( www.perl.org) or by reading the documentation included with the interpreter.
