Both Emacs and vi run in Terminal. They are completely text based and don't have a graphical interface (well, they can, but we're not gonna talk about installing X and Fink). There are GUI based editors that are free (like JEdit).

You can read an Emacs tutorial here.

Vi tutorial available here.

You'll need to enter the examples in a text editor and then save it (perhaps as 'hello.pl'.

After saving the example, you run it by typing 'perl hello.pl'.
