Programming PERL in the .NET Environment

Summary

This chapter presented high-level features of the Perl programming language. We presented materials on the three types of variables: scalar, array, and hashes. Then we presented materials on file handles for performing file I/O. Next, we discussed the many control flow constructs, such as if, while, do, until, for, and foreach. We also talked about the ways in which you can alter loop control flow using last, next, and redo. Finally, we discussed some special Perl variables, such as $_, $", and $!.
