Learn Perl by actually creating useful, working Perl programs for everything from web scraping to fixing your data.
This tutorial focuses on teaching Perl 5, a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language. The course likely covers fundamental concepts of Perl 5, including its syntax, data types, control structures, subroutines, and file handling. The 'By Doing It' approach suggests a hands-on, practical learning experience where students actively write and execute Perl code throughout the tutorial.
