...And we'll forgive you for being a n00b, but the language is called "Perl" and the executable is called "perl". No need to scream "PERL" at us. :)

You've already got one good answer to get you started, so I won't elaborate, except to reinforce checking out the tutorials and maybe picking up Learning Perl, or the Perl Black Book.

Update: your reply was uncalled for - I was just kidding around. You and your views are more than welcome in the community. However referring to Perl as PERL is simply wrong. It is not your language. Thank you.

Update 2: Boy - lots of trolls today. I was trying to be helpful - specifically by pointing out that for a new user of Perl, tutorials or a Learning Perl book would be more useful than posting "Fix this for me, I'm lazy". And I do not own Perl, but Mr. Larry Wall does and his preferred designation for the language is Perl. If you don't believe me, RTFM. Create your own language and call it what you want and I'll respect that as well. Thanks again.
