Perl Classes in San Francisco

Perl is the quintessential system administration language, and proficiency in writing Perl applications is an incredibly useful skill in any IT job. Our Perl Intermediate class in San Francisco is focused on overcoming the obstacles that novice Perl programmers usually face: understanding the meanings of a bewildering array of symbols, effectively using the debugger, and successfully installing and using the myriad of Perl modules available for almost any programming task.

This class is the middle two days of the five-day Perl bootcamp in San Francisco. By the end of this class, you will know how to:

Launch the Perl command-line interpreter and apply its configuration switches
Create and manipulate lists (arrays) of items
Define, populate, and iterate through hashes (associative arrays)
Take advantage of the information in built-in variables such as @INC, %INC, @_, $_, and %ENV
Use list and hash functions such as foreach() and keys()
Build subroutines and capture parameters with the @_ array
Read from, and write to, text files on your computer
Specify namespaces for variables so you can keep separate your variables and any with the same name in modules you use
Find and install modules from www.cpan.org and the ActiveState package manager
Include a module when you don't have permission to put it in your directory (e.g., in a shared server) and it is not in the folder designated for modules
Work with the constants, variables, and subroutines in modules
and much more! See full outline for Perl Classes - Intermediate
