Script Structure


Beginning | Previous | Next

UNIX Systems

To write a Perl script, place this as the first line: #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w # the rest of the script (# is a comment character)

or whatever the correct path to your Perl executable is. If your UNIX does not support "#!", instead use:

#!/bin/sh -- # perl, to stop looping eval 'exec /usr/bin/perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}' if 0;

Windows NT/95 Systems

You can use this wrapper around your code: @rem = '-*- Perl -*-'; @rem = ' @echo off perl -w -S %0.bat %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 goto endofperl @rem '; # the rest of the script __END__ :endofperl

Make sure "perl.exe" is in your path and the file's extension is ".bat".
