Hi! "1 Could some suggest me what all I can do in Perl?"
The list would be smaller if you'd asked "what CAN'T you do with perl?". Perl is a very powerful programming language. Speaking from personal experience, it's helped me elevate myself above my peers and is directly responsible for the high success of many of my projects over the last few years. I've been able to accomplish tasks that high priced proprietary software could not. Perl is a tool. If you are good at solving problems, and can leverage perl as your tool to help you do so, there really isn't much you can't do, within the computer realm. "I also want to know what all are the applications of Perl ? Is it only used for System Admin kind of work or things beyond that ?" Automating common or routine system tasks is one application. Gives you more free time to work on projects. Using CGI for dynamic web pages and reporting is another good application. Systems monitoring is a big one for me. I use perl to monitor our UNIX environment and to query network devices for status information. You can write network sniffers, manipulate images, query databases, or wrap binaries. The list goes on and on. -----Original Message----- From: Rajat Dudeja [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 18, 2005 10:02 AM To: beginners@perl.org Subject: General Enquiry regarding the Perl Hi All, I have just joined this group two days back. So 'Hello' to every one out there. I am new to Perl and I want to do some project in it. I have some very basic queries in Perl, so thought of writing to the group : 1 Could some suggest me what all I can do in Perl? 2 I also want to know what all are the applications of Perl ? Is it only used for System Admin kind of work or things beyond that ? Kindly excuse me if any of my these basic questions are not permissible to be asked in this group. -- Warm regards, Rajat -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
