Hello World! on Mac
Step - Create the Perl script
Copy the two-line Perl program below into your favorite text editor and save the file as hello.pl.
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Hello, World!\n";
Saving .pl file
You can save the .pl file anywhere.
However, you may want to create a special working folder for this course in which you will save all of your scripts.
Step 2 - Run the script
Open MacPerl. Select Run Script from the Script menu.
From there, you will be prompted to select a file. Navigate to hello.pl and click Open.
The program should run and print:
Hello, World!
Perl Installation
If this program is not working, you may want to consult the application documentation carefully before posting a message to the forum.
Chances are it's a problem with the installation.
