Perl/Basics/Your First Program/Code

To run this code, you'll only need to put it in a text file. Save it as "hello.pl", and then you can execute the following to run it from either cygwin or bash:

• chmod +x hello.pl
• ./hello.pl

Alternatively you can simply type:

• perl hello.pl

<syntaxhighlight lang="perl">#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; print "Hello world!\n";</syntaxhighlight>
