UNIX LiveCD, for PERL?


Recommended Posts

Hello!

I'm learning PERL, but I don't want to install unix.

I'm using "Teach yourself PERL in 21 Days"

I don't mind VMWaring it, as long as I can backup my virtual UNIX.

Please tell me what I should do!

And what UNIX to install (for PERL)

Thanks in advance,

Panarchy

Pretty much any linux distro will support perl, if not out of the box, there will be packages in the repo's that do, so it's just a matter of picking your favourite, if you have one, or just go for ubuntu/fedora, and install them into a VM, and you're pretty much good to go.

Oh?

Thanks mate! (Wait, is this like the 3GB one?)

Yeah im not quite sure if why you don't just install perl for your native Operating system.. (or the OS you are using right now)

Who wrote the book? IT cant be that much different. The only thing i can think that would be different is file paths to things.

Perl on a *nix system would use a shebang line like #!/usr/bin/perl

but in windows it would be #!C:\perl\bin\perl.

other than basic file system paths or system commands, it should be easy to translate OS specific functions. Iv done it on a bunch of reading material that was ment for a *nix system but for windows. Coding isnt different on each system.. So I wouldnt think it would be a huge problem
