By: Jayesh H. Munjani (159250)
 Perl is a high-level, general-purpose,
interpreted, dynamic programming
language.

Perl language was specially designed

Introductio for text editing.

computer system related to job.

PERL can automate all these aspects,

so that we can spend time on other
important aspects of job.

Section 3: Perl Regular
Expressions
 • Regular Expression (Regex or Regexp or RE) in Perl
Regular is a special text string for describing a search pattern
within a given text.
Expressions • It is used for pattern searching and Pattern
Matching.
String matching

String matching using =~

Match certain pattern

Using /pattern to match/

Using m[pattern to match]
Any character can be used instead of []
Replace matched pattern

Case sensitive search and match globally

Case insensitive search and match

Transliterate
Complex Regular Expressions
Complex Search

More than one character [a b]

Single character match a.

Other than [a b]
 Complex Search

‘a’ with zero or more occurrence ‘a’ with 1 or more occurrence of ‘b’
of ‘b’

‘a’ with 0 or 1 occurrence of ‘b’

Complex Search

‘a’ with 2 occurrence of b ‘a’ with 2 or more occurrence of b

Complex Search

Any word using ‘\w’

Any digit using ‘\d’
\W for non words
\D for non numbers
Complex Search

White space using ‘\s’ Except White space using ‘\S’

Complex Search

Either a or b found then replace with X

Replace digit with length from 1 to 2
Complex string search
User Input and string match

Section 4: File
Handling
File Handling
 Various
Modes for
File Handling
Read data from a
file and close it
•# Opening a File in Read-only mode
•open(r, "<", "Hello.txt");
Read a data and write •# Opening File in Write mode
data •open(w, ">", "Hello.txt");
Write a data
•# Opening File in Write mode
•open(w, ">>", "Hello.txt");
 •# Opening File in Write mode
Append the data •open(a, ">>", "Hello.txt");
Read-Write Mode (rw, +>)
Read-Write Mode (rw, +>>)
Using File Handles
Reading a file content line by line
Arguments
Arguments: Factorial of a number
Switch and Argument
Section 4: Subroutines
Subroutine

A Perl function or subroutine is a group of statements that together

perform a specific task.

The word subroutines is used most in Perl programming because it

is created using keyword sub task.
Define and Call a Subroutine
Passing arguments to subroutine
Passing arguments to subroutine as array
Passing array as input
Different data type as input to function
Hash as input
Private Variable
Package in Perl
