In addition to BBEdit (which available in a pay version and a time-limited 'demo' version), Mac OS X also comes with Emacs and vi.

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'.

Welcome to Perl! Perlmonks is here to help, but please read documentation before asking a question. If you don't like reading docs in a Terminal, try perldoc.com.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
