ACES: Introduction to Perl

This short course covers basic to intermediate level topics with live illustrations and hands-on exercises using the Jupyter notebook web application.

Researchers are using Perl for various scientific computations, such as biological data analysis (Bioinformatics) and other applications. By using Perl, you can quickly write programs which will run on a variety of computer platforms. If you are familiar with Perl, you can also edit programs written by other researchers or third-party providers.

Perl has powerful text processing and I/O capabilities, which you can easily use with the operators and functions built into the Perl language. You can also take advantage of Perl's numerous library extensions, which implement a wide variety of useful tools.

This class will provide an introduction to the Perl programming language. We will explore the elements of the language through interactive examples.
