Welcome to the spoken tutorial on PERL Overview and Installation of Perl.

2
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
In this tutorial, I'll take you through

3
00:00:10 --> 00:00:19
* PERL Overview along with  Installation steps for PERL on Ubuntu-Linux and Windows operating system.

4
00:00:20 --> 00:00:20
For this tutorial,

5
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
You must be connected to the Internet.

6
00:00:25 --> 00:00:29
You must have Ubuntu Linux and Windows Operating System.

7
00:00:30 --> 00:00:38
For demonstration purpose, I will be using Ubuntu Linux 12.04 and Windows 7 operating system.

8
00:00:39 --> 00:00:46
For Ubuntu Linux installation, you must have Synaptic Package Manager installed on your system.

9
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
You must have administrative rights.

10
00:00:50 --> 00:00:56
And you must also have knowledge of using Terminal and Synaptic Package Manager in Ubuntu.

11
00:00:57 --> 00:01:02
If not, please see the Linux series available on the spoken tutorial website.

12
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
Let me give you an overview of PERL Language.

13
00:01:07 --> 00:01:13
PERL is an acronym which stands for  Practical Extraction and Reporting Language.

14
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
It is a general-purpose programming language.

15
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
It was originally developed for text manipulation.

16
00:01:23 --> 00:01:30
Now, it is used for web development, network programming, GUI development etc

17
00:01:31 --> 00:01:34
It is simple and very easy to understand.

18
00:01:35 --> 00:01:40
It does not have complex data structures like in C or JAVA.

19
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
It is well known for pattern matching.

20
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
And most importantly, PERL is an open source language.

21
00:01:49 --> 00:01:55
PERL comes pre-loaded on Ubuntu Linux 12.04 OS.

22
00:01:56 --> 00:02:00
There is no specific procedure to be followed for installation.

23
00:02:01 --> 00:02:06
Let us check the installed version of PERL on Ubuntu 12.04.

24
00:02:07 --> 00:02:14
Open the terminal by pressing ctrl + alt + t simultaneously on the keyboard.

25
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
Then, type perl hyphen v

26
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
and then press ENTER.

27
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
You will get an output as displayed here, on the terminal.

28
00:02:26 --> 00:02:30
This output shows us the current installed version of PERL.

29
00:02:31 --> 00:02:35
In my case it is PERL 5.14.2

30
00:02:36 --> 00:02:42
Let us check the default PERL packages available on Ubuntu 12.04.

31
00:02:43 --> 00:02:47
Let's go to the launcher bar and click on Dash Home.

32
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
In the search bar,  type Synaptic.

33
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
Synaptic Package Manager icon will be visible.

34
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
Click on it.

35
00:02:57 --> 00:03:02
You will be prompted for your admin password, for Authentication purpose.

36
00:03:03 --> 00:03:07
Enter your admin password and click on Authenticate.

37
00:03:08 --> 00:03:12
Immediately, Synaptic Package Manager will load the package list.

38
00:03:13 --> 00:03:17
This may take some time depending on your internet and system speed.

39
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
Once loaded, type Perl in Quick Filter.

40
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
You will see a list of packages.

41
00:03:25 --> 00:03:32
The green color solid-filled checkbox before a PERL package  indicates that it is already installed.

42
00:03:33 --> 00:03:40
Whereas checkboxes with star marks, indicate that you may need these packages, as well.

43
00:03:41 --> 00:03:46
These will help you to create a documentation or debug a PERL script.

44
00:03:47 --> 00:03:53
Install any of the missing packages, depending on your future use of PERL.

45
00:03:54 --> 00:03:59
Let us now go through the steps to install  PERL  on Windows Operating System.

46
00:04:00 --> 00:04:07
At the time of recording the Perl tutorials, version 5.14.2 was available in Windows.

47
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
Now, there is a new PERL version available.

48
00:04:12 --> 00:04:18
I will be demonstrating the installation using the new PERL version 5.16.3

49
00:04:19 --> 00:04:25
All the PERL commands shown in the tutorials will work perfectly, on the new version as well.

50
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
Open the browser on Windows Operating System,

51
00:04:30 --> 00:04:34
and in the address bar, type the URL as shown.

52
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38
You will be directed to the download page of PERL.

53
00:04:39 --> 00:04:43
Select the download version, as per your system specifications.

54
00:04:44 --> 00:04:48
In my case, It will be 32 bit version of PERL.

55
00:04:49 --> 00:04:55
Save the Perl msi file on your computer in a location of your choice.

56
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
I have already saved it on my machine.

57
00:05:00 --> 00:05:06
Open the folder where you have downloaded PERL msi file and double-click on it.

58
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
Then click on Run in the pop-up window.

59
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
Click on Next in the setup wizard  window.

60
00:05:15 --> 00:05:20
Accept the License Aggrement when prompted and then click on Next.

61
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
Now, Custom Setup window will appear.

62
00:05:25 --> 00:05:30
This window lists all the PERL features that get installed.

63
00:05:31 --> 00:05:31
These are;

64
00:05:32 --> 00:05:32
Perl,

65
00:05:33 --> 00:05:38
PPM utilty, used to download and install Perl Modules on Windows

66
00:05:39 --> 00:05:43
Documentation which provides the documentation for Perl Modules

67
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
And examples of Perl

68
00:05:47 --> 00:05:51
Keep all these default features and click on Next.

69
00:05:52 --> 00:05:58
A popup window for setting environmental variable and file extension will appear.

70
00:05:59 --> 00:06:02
Keep the check box checked, as shown here.

71
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
Click on Next and then Install.

72
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
This will start the installation of PERL.

73
00:06:11 --> 00:06:15
This may take some time depending on your internet speed.

74
00:06:16 --> 00:06:22
Once done, uncheck the Display Release Note checkbox and then click on Finish.

75
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
This completes the installation of PERL on Windows.

76
00:06:27 --> 00:06:31
Now let us verify the installation.

77
00:06:32 --> 00:06:38
Go to Start menu and type cmd to open the command prompt.

78
00:06:39 --> 00:06:43
On the command prompt, type perl space hyphen v

79
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
and press ENTER.

80
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49
You will see the installed version of PERL.

81
00:06:50 --> 00:06:56
If it doesn't show the version, repeat the above installation steps once again.

82
00:06:57 --> 00:07:01
Now let us execute a simple Hello Perl program.

83
00:07:02 --> 00:07:10
This file has been provided to you along with this tutorial, in the Code Files link, below the player.

84
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
Please download and use this file.

85
00:07:14 --> 00:07:20
I had saved the file in users\Amol directory on my system.

86
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
So, let's go there.

87
00:07:23 --> 00:07:27
Then type perl sampleProgram.pl

88
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
and press Enter.

89
00:07:30 --> 00:07:34
Hello Perl will get printed on the command prompt,as shown.
