What is Perl?
Perl is a Portable Scripting Language No compiling is needed. Runs on Windows, UNIX, LINUX and cygwin
Fast and easy text processing capability Fast and easy file handling capability Written by Larry Wall “Perl is the language for getting your job done.”
Too Slow For Number Crunching Ideal for Prototyping

How to Access Perl
To install at home Perl Comes by Default on Linux, Cygwin, MacOSX www.perl.com Has rpm's for Linux www.activestate.com Has binaries for Windows
Latest Version is 5.8 To check if Perl is working and the version number
% perl -v

The Basic Hello World Program
which perl pico hello.pl Program:
#! /…path…/perl -wprint “Hello World!\n”;
Save this as “hello.pl” Give it executable permissions
chmod a+x hello.pl Run it as follows:
./hello.pl
![Page 7: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

“Hello World” Observations
“.pl” extension is optional but is commonly used The first line “#!/usr/local/bin/perl” tells UNIX where
to find Perl “-w” switches on warning : not required but a really
good idea
![Page 8: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Variables and Their Content
![Page 9: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9
Numerical Literals
Numerical Literals 6 Integer 12.6 Floating Point 1e10 Scientific Notation 6.4E-33 Scientific Notation 4_348_348 Underscores instead of
commas for long numbers
![Page 10: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
String Literals
String Literals “There is more than one way to do it!” 'Just don't create a file called -rf.' “Beauty?\nWhat's that?\n” “” “Real programmers can write assembly in any
language.”
Quotes from Larry Wall
![Page 11: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Types of Variables
Types of variables: Scalar variables : $a, $b, $c Array variables : @array Hash variables : %hash File handles : STDIN, STDOUT, STDERR
Variables do not need to be declared Variable type (int, char, ...) is decided at run time
$a = 5; # now an integer
$a = “perl”; # now a string
![Page 12: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Operators on Scalar Variables
Numeric and Logic Operators Typical : +, -, *, /, %, ++, --, +=, -=, *=, /=, ||, &&, ! ect
… Not typical: ** for exponentiation
String Operators Concatenation: “.” - similar to strcat
$first_name = “Larry”;
$last_name = “Wall”;
$full_name = $first_name . “ “ . $last_name;
![Page 13: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Equality Operators for Strings
Equality/ Inequality : eq and ne
$language = “Perl”;
if ($language == “Perl”) ... # Wrong!
if ($language eq “Perl”) ... #Correct
Use eq / ne rather than == / != for strings
![Page 14: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Relational Operators for Strings
Greater than Numeric : > String : gt
Greater than or equal to Numeric : >= String : ge
Less than Numeric : < String : lt
Less than or equal to Numeric : <= String : le
![Page 15: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
String Functions
Convert to upper case $name = uc($name);
Convert only the first char to upper case $name = ucfirst($name);
Convert to lower case $name = lc($name);
Convert only the first char to lower case $name = lcfirst($name);
![Page 16: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
A String Example Program Convert to upper case
$name = uc($name); Convert only the first char to upper case
$name = ucfirst($name);
Convert to lower case $name = lc($name);
Convert only the first char to lower case $name = lcfirst($name);#!/usr/bin/perl$var1 = “larry”;$var2 = “moe”;$var3 = “shemp”;……Output: Larry, MOE, sHEMP
![Page 17: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
A String Example Program
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
$var1 = “larry”;
$var2 = “moe”;
$var3 = “shemp”;
print ucfirst($var1); # Prints 'Larry'
print uc($var2); # Prints 'MOE'
print lcfirst(uc($var3)); # Prints 'sHEMP'
![Page 18: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Variable Interpolation
Perl looks for variables inside strings and replaces them with their value
$stooge = “Larry”
print “$stooge is one of the three stooges.\n”;
Produces the output:Larry is one of the three stooges.
This does not happen when you use single quotesprint '$stooge is one of the three stooges.\n’;
Produces the output:$stooge is one of the three stooges.\n
![Page 19: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Character Interpolation
List of character escapes that are recognized when using double quoted strings \n newline \t tab \r carriage return
Common Example :
print “Hello\n”; # prints Hello and then a return
![Page 20: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Numbers and Strings are Interchangeable
If a scalar variable looks like a number and Perl needs a number, it will use it as a number
$a = 4; # a number
print $a + 18; # prints 22
$b = “50”; # looks like a string, but ...
print $b – 10; # will print 40!
![Page 21: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Control Structures: Loops and Conditions
![Page 22: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
If ... else ... statements
if ( $weather eq “Rain” )
{
print “Umbrella!\n”;
}
elsif ( $weather eq “Sun” ) {
print “Sunglasses!\n”;
}
else {
print “Anti Radiation Armor!\n”;
}
![Page 23: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Unless ... else Statements
Unless Statements are the opposite of if ... else statements.
unless ($weather eq “Rain”) {
print “Dress as you wish!\n”;
}
else {
print “Umbrella!\n”;
}
And again remember the braces are required!
![Page 24: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
While Loop
Example :$i = 0;
while ( $i <= 1000 ) {
print “$i\n”;
$i++;
}
![Page 25: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Until Loop
The until function evaluates an expression repeatedly until a specific condition is met.
Example:
$i = 0;
until ($i == 1000) {
print “$i\n”;
$i++;
}
![Page 26: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
For Loops
Syntax 1: for ( $i = 0; $i <= 1000; $i=$i+2 )
{ print “$i\n”; }
Syntax 2: for $i(0..1000)
{ print “$i\n”; }
![Page 27: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Moving around in a Loop
next: ignore the current iteration last: terminates the loop.
What is the output for the following code snippet:for ( $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++)
{
if ($i == 1 || $i == 3) { next; }
elsif($i == 5) { last; }
else
{print “$i\n”;}
}

Exercise: Generating a Random Sample
A study yields an outcome between 0 and 100 for every patient. You want to generate an artificial random study for 100 patients:
Patient 1 99Patient 2 65Patient 3 89….
Tip:- use the srand to seed the random number generator
-use rand 100 to generate values between 0 and 100 :
rand 100

Collections Of Variables: Arrays
![Page 34: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Arrays
Array variable is denoted by the @ symbol @array = ( “Larry”, “Curly”, “Moe” );
To access the whole array, use the whole array print @array; # prints : Larry Curly Moe
Notice that you do not need to loop through the whole array to print it – Perl does this for you
![Page 35: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Arrays cont…
Array Indexes start at 0 !!!!!
To access one element of the array : use $ Why? Because every element in the array is scalar
print “$array[0]\n”; # prints : Larry
Question:
What happens if we access $array[3] ?
Answer1 : Value is set to 0 in Perl Answer2: Anything in C!!!!!
![Page 36: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Arrays cont ...
To find the index of the last element in the arrayprint $#array; # prints 2 in the previous
# example
Note another way to find the number of elements in the array:$array_size = @array; $array_size now has 3 in the above example
because there are 3 elements in the array
![Page 37: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Sorting Arrays
Perl has a built in sort function Two ways to sort:
Default : sorts in a standard string comparisons order sort LIST
Usersub: create your own subroutine that returns an integer less than, equal to or greater than 0
Sort USERSUB LIST The <=> and cmp operators make creating sorting
subroutines very easy
![Page 38: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Numerical Sorting Example
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
@unsortedArray = (3, 10, 76, 23, 1, 54);
@sortedArray = sort numeric @unsortedArray;
print “@unsortedArray\n”; # prints 3 10 76 23 1 54
print “@sortedArray\n”; # prints 1 3 10 23 54 76
sub numeric
{
return $a <=> $b;
}
# Numbers: $a <=> $b : -1 if $a<$b , 0 if $a== $b, 1 if $a>$b
# Strings: $a cpm $b : -1 if $a<$b , 0 if $a== $b, 1 if $a>$b
![Page 39: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
@unsortedArray = (“Larry”, “Curly”, “moe”);
@sortedArray = sort { lc($a) cmp lc($b)} @unsortedArray;
print “@unsortedArray\n”; # prints Larry Curly moe
print “@sortedArray\n”; # prints Curly Larry moe
String Sorting Example
![Page 40: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Foreach
Foreach allows you to iterate over an array Example:
foreach $element (@array) { print “$element\n”;}
This is similar to : for ($i = 0; $i <= $#array; $i++) { print “$array[$i]\n”;}
![Page 41: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Sorting with Foreach
The sort function sorts the array and returns the list in sorted order.
Example :
@array( “Larry”, “Curly”, “Moe”);
foreach $element (sort @array)
{
print “$element ”;
}
Prints the elements in sorted order:
Curly Larry Moe
![Page 42: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
Exercise: Sorting According to Multiple Criterion
Use the following initialization to sort individuals by age and then by income:
Syntax
@sortedArray = sort numeric @unsortedArray;sub numeric
{ return $a <=> $b;
}Data
@index=(0,1,2,3,4);@name=(“V”,“W”,”X”,”Y”,”Z”);@age=(10,20, 15, 20, 10);@income=(100,670, 280,800,400);
Output: Name X Age A Income I
…
Tip:-Sort the index, using information contained in the other arrays.
![Page 43: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
Exercise: Sorting According to Multiple Criterion
@index=(0,1,2,3,4,5);@name=(“V”,“W”,”X”,”Y”,”Z”);@age=(10,20, 15, 20, 10);@income=(100,670, 280,800,400);
foreach $i ( sort my_numeric @index){
print “$name[$i] $age[$i] $income[$i];}
sub my_numeric {
if ($age[$a] == $age[$b]){return $income[$a]<=>$income[$b]; }
else {return $age[$a]<=>$age[$b]; }
}

Manipulating Arrays
![Page 45: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
Strings to Arrays : split
Split a string into words and put into an array@array = split( /;/, “Larry;Curly;Moe” );
@array= (“Larry”, “Curly”, “Moe”);
# creates the same array as we saw previously
Split into characters@stooge = split( //, “curly” );
# array @stooge has 5 elements: c, u, r, l, y
![Page 46: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
Split cont..
Split on any character@array = split( /:/, “10:20:30:40”);
# array has 4 elements : 10, 20, 30, 40
Split on Multiple White Space@array = split(/\s+/, “this is a test”;
# array has 4 elements : this, is, a, test
More on ‘\s+’ later
![Page 47: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
Arrays to Strings
Array to space separated string@array = (“Larry”, “Curly”, “Moe”);
$string = join( “;“, @array);
# string = “Larry;Curly;Moe”
Array of characters to string@stooge = (“c”, “u”, “r”, “l”, “y”);
$string = join( “”, @stooge );
# string = “curly”
![Page 48: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
48
Joining Arrays cont…
Join with any character you want@array = ( “10”, “20”, “30”, “40” );
$string = join( “:”, @array);
# string = “10:20:30:40”
Join with multiple characters@array = “10”, “20”, “30”, “40”);
$string = join(“->”, @array);
# string = “10->20->30->40”
![Page 49: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
49
Arrays as Stacks and Lists
To append to the end of an array :@array = ( “Larry”, “Curly”, “Moe” );
push (@array, “Shemp” );
print $array[3]; # prints “Shemp”
To remove the last element of the array (LIFO)$elment = pop @array;
print $element; # prints “Shemp” @array now has the original elements
(“Larry”, “Curly”, “Moe”)
![Page 50: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
50
Arrays as Stacks and Lists
To prepend to the beginning of an array@array = ( “Larry”, “Curly”, “Moe” );unshift @array, “Shemp”;print $array[3]; # prints “Moe”print “$array[0]; # prints “Shemp”
To remove the first element of the array $element = shift @array;print $element; # prints “Shemp” The array now contains only :
“Larry”, “Curly”, “Moe”
![Page 51: Introduction to Perl Part I](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812acf550346895d8eabb4/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
51
Exercise: Spliting Instructions
Remove shift: beginning, pop: end
Add Unshift: beginning, push: end
Use split, shift and push to turn the following string:
“The enquiry 1 was administered to five couples”“The enquiry 2 was administered to six couples”“The enquiry 3 was administered to eigh couples”
Into“five couples were administered the enquiry 1”

Multi Dimensional Arrays
Better use Hash tables (cf later) If you need to:
@tab=([‘Monday’,’Tuesday’],
[‘Morning’,’Afternoon’,’Evening’]);
$a=$tab[0][0] # $a == ‘Monday’
$tab2=(‘midnight’, ‘Twelve’);
$tab[2]=\@tab2 # integrate tab2 as the last row of tab
