First exercise, second part
Write a simple script that prints Hello world
print "hello world\n";
$ perl hello.pl
use strict;
use warnings;
print "hello world\n";
Add comments to your code
use strict;
use warnings;
print "hello world\n"; #comment
# some comment
Add user documentation to your code
use strict;
use warnings;
print "hello world\n"; #comment
# some comment
=pod
=head1 Title
text
=cut
$ perl hello.pl
$ perldoc hello.pl
But that does not look really good and perldoc
reported about some error too.
That's because POD requires empty rows around its tags:
use strict;
use warnings;
print "hello world\n"; #comment
# some comment
=pod
=head1 Title
text
=cut
$ perldoc hello.pl
$ pod2html hello.pl > hello.html
$ lynx hello.html
