variables

the three types of variables in Perl are:

scalars = numbers, strings, or references    denoted $ 
arrays = sequentially-numbered lists of scalars     denoted @
hashes.= key-referenced lists of scalars     denoted %

operators

Operator                   Num     Str

  Equal                      ==      eq
  Not equal                  !=      ne
  Less than                   <      lt
  Greater than                >      gt
  Less than or equal to      <=      le

regexp		regular expression . a* a? ^a a$,perls RE för andra.
semantik	meaning that is expressed in a language and words
notation	ways to represent a matimatic equation
analogi		motsvarighet, nagot svart beskrivs enkelt
iteration	upprepning
deklarera	förklara
definera	definera subrutiner
context		sammanhang
explicit	uttryckligen
implicit	underförstått
logiska operatorer	and,or,not,||,&&,!
aritmetisk	+-/*
bitoperatorer	AND,OR,XOR,leftand right shift.
re		reguljära utryck, mönsterpassning.
relation operatorer	numeriska	sträng
			==	!=	eq 	ne
<	>	lt	gt
<=	>=	le	ge
jämförelse operatörer	numeriska	sträng
 			<=>		cmp

How to get information

perldoc -f variabler	Show help page for variables
perldoc -f -X		Show file handle test.
perldoc perlform	Format information
perldoc Getopt::Long	Show help for Getopt
perldoc -q		Letar i perl faq
perldoc perlmodlib	Lista inbyggda moduler
perldoc perlpod

Debug

emacs M-x perldb	Debugga perl i emacs
perl -d:ptkdb /scrpt	Debugga perl  

Perl code

use strict;	explesist namnge package variable
use warning;	show warning messages
perl -w		show warning messages
use Getopt::Long:	Use getoptions module

package mypkg; change package

Perl Oneliners:

perl -ne 'print if /a/'			Grep all lines containing a. (-n create a loop) (-e, allows you to define Perl code to be executed by the compiler)
perl -e 'print join("\n",@INC),"\n"'	Var söker perl efter moduler
perl -c kod.pl				Kontrollera koden.

regexp . one key ^ beginning of line $ end of line /^[xfi]/ Starting with one x or f or i /^[h-j]/ Starting with one h or i or j () Deluttryck quantifier how much a string matches. ?

STDIN,STDOUT,STDERR

Regular Expression.

a.b		a any key b
^a.c$		starting with a any key end with c
X1*		X1 folles by 0 to many 1
^[]abc]		strings starting with any of ]abc
[^zxy]		Does not have any of zxy in possition
a{8}		aaaaaaaa
uttr{m,n}	uttr förekommer mellan m och n gånger
^ *$		empty line or only blanks
