This note explains
the following topics: Interpreter vs. Compiler, Perl different from other
languages, Variables, Scalar Data, Arrays and Lists, Control Structures, Hashes,
Regular Expressions, Functions, Interacting with the Operating System, A few
Perl Functions.
The aim of this note is to give you not just an understanding of the
