Perl Training Overview

Perl is a powerful scripting language that has been popular for more than a decade. In this engaging, hands-on Perl training class, attendees learn how to use Perl to build data-driven reporting and systems administration applications.

Location and Pricing

Most Accelebrate courses are taught on-site at our clients' locations worldwide for groups of 3 or more attendees and are customized to their specific needs. Please visit our client list to see organizations for whom we have recently delivered training. To receive a customized proposal and price quote, please contact us.

In addition, some courses are available as live, online classes for individuals.  To see a schedule of online courses, please visit http://www.accelebrate.com/online_training/xml_html_js.htm.

Perl Training Prerequisites

We strongly recommend that all attendees have some prior programming experience.

Hands-on/Lecture Ratio

This Perl training class is 70% hands-on, 30% lecture, with the longest lecture segments lasting for 20 minutes. Students "learn by doing," with immediate opportunities to apply the material they learn to real-world problems.

Perl Training Materials

All Perl training students receive copies of the latest editions of O'Reilly's acclaimed Learning Perl, Programming Perl, and the Perl Cookbook, as well as related courseware.

Software Needed on Each Student PC (or a Server Accessible via Telnet or Remote Desktop Connection)

  • Windows, MacOS, or Unix operating system
  • The latest version of Perl installed
  • A text editor for editing the Perl scripts (please contact us to discuss the best editor for your environment)
  • DBI.pm (downloadable from CPAN at http://search.cpan.org/search?module=DBI)
  • A database of the customer's choice (MySQL recommended; almost all major databases can be accommodated)
  • The appropriate DBD (DBI database driver) for the database

Accelebrate welcomes the opportunity to assist its clients with configuring their environment for class.

Perl Training Objectives

  • To learn the fundamentals of the Perl programming language and how it can be used to write data reporting and systems administration applications.
  • To discover how to use of the DBI.pm module and related DBD (driver) files with Perl to build database-driven applications.
