Perl Training in San Francisco

Perl (Practical Extraction and Reporting Language) is an incredibly useful programming language for everything from system administration to data clean up. It runs on all operating systems.

It is known for its power, huge base of existing code ("modules"), and the fact that Perl scripts can often be hard to read for the uninitiated. With just a little Perl training, you will be writing your own powerful scripts by the end of the day. Intro to Perl is the first day in our five-day Perl training course.

This Perl training is the first day of the five-day Perl bootcamp in San Francisco . When you have completed the Perl training, you will know how to:

Find the version of Perl on www.cpan.org for your operating system and review other resources
Install ActiveState Perl to run on Windows
Identify what folders contain what items after the installation
