I want to do Perl coding for (detailed spec of some task)

Great. Perl is probably a good choice for this. Here's how to proceed:

  1. Design an algorithm to fit the specification.
  2. Write Perl code to implement the algorithm.
  3. Write a test suite against the specification to prove that it has been met. (Once you become more proficient at this it is advisable to write the tests before the implementation.)
  4. If the test suite fails, go back to point 1 or 2 as appropriate.
  5. Document everything.

Good luck with your project.

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
