Learn Perl by Doing - Part 1

Getting Started

Get started

What you'll learn

In this first part of the course, we'll create our first Perl program and tackle the basics of regular expressions, those powerful little strings of squiggles and brackets that remain mysterious to so many programmers. Along the way we'll also get a taste of the power of Perl by creating a program that can download text and images from the Internet.
