Introduction to Perl
Part I
By: Cédric Notredame(Adapted from BT McInnes)
![Page 2: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)

What is Perl? Perl is a Portable Scripting Language
No compiling is needed. Runs on Windows, UNIX, LINUX and cygwin
Fast and easy text processing capability Fast and easy file handling capability Written by Larry Wall “Perl is the language for getting your job done.”
Too Slow For Number Crunching Ideal for Prototyping
![Page 3: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

How to Access Perl
To install at home Perl Comes by Default on Linux, Cygwin, MacOSX www.perl.com Has rpm's for Linux www.activestate.com Has binaries for Windows
Latest Version is 5.8 To check if Perl is working and the version number
% perl -v

The Basic Hello World Program
which perl pico hello.pl Program:
#! /…path…/perl -wprint “Hello World!\n”;
Save this as “hello.pl” Give it executable permissions
chmod a+x hello.pl Run it as follows:
./hello.pl
![Page 7: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

“Hello World” Observations
“.pl” extension is optional but is commonly used The first line “#!/usr/local/bin/perl” tells UNIX where
to find Perl “-w” switches on warning : not required but a really
good idea

Types of Variables
Types of variables: Scalar variables : $a, $b, $c Array variables : @array Hash variables : %hash File handles : STDIN, STDOUT, STDERR
Variables do not need to be declared Variable type (int, char, ...) is decided at run time
$a = 5; # now an integer $a = “perl”; # now a string
![Page 12: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Operators on Scalar Variables
Numeric and Logic Operators Typical : +, -, *, /, %, ++, --, +=, -=, *=, /=, ||, &&, ! ect
… Not typical: ** for exponentiation
String Operators Concatenation: “.” - similar to strcat
$first_name = “Larry”; $last_name = “Wall”;$full_name = $first_name . “ “ . $last_name;
![Page 13: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Equality Operators for Strings Equality/ Inequality : eq and ne
$language = “Perl”;if ($language == “Perl”) ... # Wrong!if ($language eq “Perl”) ... #Correct
Use eq / ne rather than == / != for strings
![Page 14: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Relational Operators for Strings
Greater than Numeric : > String : gt
Greater than or equal to Numeric : >= String : ge
Less than Numeric : < String : lt
Less than or equal to Numeric : <= String : le
![Page 15: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
String Functions Convert to upper case
$name = uc($name); Convert only the first char to upper case
$name = ucfirst($name);
Convert to lower case $name = lc($name);
Convert only the first char to lower case $name = lcfirst($name);
![Page 16: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
A String Example Program Convert to upper case
$name = uc($name); Convert only the first char to upper case
$name = ucfirst($name);
Convert to lower case $name = lc($name);
Convert only the first char to lower case $name = lcfirst($name);#!/usr/bin/perl$var1 = “larry”;$var2 = “moe”;$var3 = “shemp”;……Output: Larry, MOE, sHEMP
![Page 17: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
A String Example Program
#!/usr/local/bin/perl$var1 = “larry”;$var2 = “moe”;$var3 = “shemp”;
print ucfirst($var1); # Prints 'Larry'print uc($var2); # Prints 'MOE'print lcfirst(uc($var3)); # Prints 'sHEMP'
![Page 18: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Variable Interpolation
Perl looks for variables inside strings and replaces them with their value
$stooge = “Larry”print “$stooge is one of the three stooges.\n”;
Produces the output:Larry is one of the three stooges.
This does not happen when you use single quotesprint '$stooge is one of the three stooges.\n’;
Produces the output:$stooge is one of the three stooges.\n
![Page 19: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Character Interpolation
List of character escapes that are recognized when using double quoted strings \n newline \t tab \r carriage return
Common Example :
print “Hello\n”; # prints Hello and then a return
![Page 20: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Numbers and Strings are Interchangeable
If a scalar variable looks like a number and Perl needs a number, it will use it as a number
$a = 4; # a numberprint $a + 18; # prints 22$b = “50”; # looks like a string, but ...print $b – 10; # will print 40!
![Page 21: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Control Structures: Loops and Conditions
![Page 22: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
If ... else ... statements
if ( $weather eq “Rain” ) {
print “Umbrella!\n”; }
elsif ( $weather eq “Sun” ) { print “Sunglasses!\n”;}else { print “Anti Radiation Armor!\n”;}
![Page 23: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Unless ... else Statements
Unless Statements are the opposite of if ... else statements.
unless ($weather eq “Rain”) { print “Dress as you wish!\n”;}else { print “Umbrella!\n”;}
And again remember the braces are required!
![Page 24: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
While Loop Example :
$i = 0;while ( $i <= 1000 )
{ print “$i\n”; $i++;}
![Page 25: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Until Loop
The until function evaluates an expression repeatedly until a specific condition is met.
Example: $i = 0; until ($i == 1000) { print “$i\n”;
$i++;}
![Page 26: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
For Loops
Syntax 1: for ( $i = 0; $i <= 1000; $i=$i+2 )
{ print “$i\n”; }
Syntax 2: for $i(0..1000)
{ print “$i\n”; }
![Page 27: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Moving around in a Loop
next: ignore the current iteration last: terminates the loop.
What is the output for the following code snippet:for ( $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++)
{ if ($i == 1 || $i == 3) { next; } elsif($i == 5) { last; }
else {print “$i\n”;} }
![Page 28: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Exercise: Generating a Random Sample
A study yields an outcome between 0 and 100 for every patient. You want to generate an artificial random study for 100 patients:
Patient 1 99Patient 2 65Patient 3 89….
Tip:- use the srand to seed the random number generator
-use rand 100 to generate values between 0 and 100 :
rand 100

Collections Of Variables: Arrays
![Page 34: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Arrays
Array variable is denoted by the @ symbol @array = ( “Larry”, “Curly”, “Moe” );
To access the whole array, use the whole array print @array; # prints : Larry Curly Moe
Notice that you do not need to loop through the whole array to print it – Perl does this for you
![Page 35: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Arrays cont…
Array Indexes start at 0 !!!!!
To access one element of the array : use $ Why? Because every element in the array is scalar
print “$array[0]\n”; # prints : Larry
Question:
What happens if we access $array[3] ?
Answer1 : Value is set to 0 in Perl Answer2: Anything in C!!!!!
![Page 36: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Arrays cont ...
To find the index of the last element in the arrayprint $#array; # prints 2 in the previous
# example
Note another way to find the number of elements in the array:$array_size = @array; $array_size now has 3 in the above example
because there are 3 elements in the array
![Page 37: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Sorting Arrays Perl has a built in sort function Two ways to sort:
Default : sorts in a standard string comparisons order sort LIST
Usersub: create your own subroutine that returns an integer less than, equal to or greater than 0
Sort USERSUB LIST The <=> and cmp operators make creating sorting
subroutines very easy
![Page 38: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Numerical Sorting Example
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w@unsortedArray = (3, 10, 76, 23, 1, 54);@sortedArray = sort numeric @unsortedArray;
print “@unsortedArray\n”; # prints 3 10 76 23 1 54print “@sortedArray\n”; # prints 1 3 10 23 54 76
sub numeric {
return $a <=> $b;
}# Numbers: $a <=> $b : -1 if $a<$b , 0 if $a== $b, 1 if $a>$b # Strings: $a cpm $b : -1 if $a<$b , 0 if $a== $b, 1 if $a>$b
![Page 39: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w@unsortedArray = (“Larry”, “Curly”, “moe”);@sortedArray = sort { lc($a) cmp lc($b)} @unsortedArray;
print “@unsortedArray\n”; # prints Larry Curly moeprint “@sortedArray\n”; # prints Curly Larry moe
String Sorting Example
![Page 40: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Foreach
Foreach allows you to iterate over an array Example:
foreach $element (@array) { print “$element\n”;}
This is similar to : for ($i = 0; $i <= $#array; $i++) { print “$array[$i]\n”;}
![Page 41: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Sorting with Foreach
The sort function sorts the array and returns the list in sorted order.
Example : @array( “Larry”, “Curly”, “Moe”); foreach $element (sort @array)
{ print “$element ”; }
Prints the elements in sorted order: Curly Larry Moe
![Page 42: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
Exercise: Sorting According to Multiple Criterion
Use the following initialization to sort individuals by age and then by income:
Syntax
@sortedArray = sort numeric @unsortedArray;sub numeric
{ return $a <=> $b;
}Data
@index=(0,1,2,3,4);@name=(“V”,“W”,”X”,”Y”,”Z”);@age=(10,20, 15, 20, 10);@income=(100,670, 280,800,400);
Output: Name X Age A Income I
…
Tip:-Sort the index, using information contained in the other arrays.
![Page 43: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
Exercise: Sorting According to Multiple Criterion
@index=(0,1,2,3,4,5);@name=(“V”,“W”,”X”,”Y”,”Z”);@age=(10,20, 15, 20, 10);@income=(100,670, 280,800,400);
foreach $i ( sort my_numeric @index){
print “$name[$i] $age[$i] $income[$i];}
sub my_numeric {
if ($age[$a] == $age[$b]){return $income[$a]<=>$income[$b]; }
else {return $age[$a]<=>$age[$b]; }
}

Manipulating Arrays
![Page 45: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
Strings to Arrays : split
Split a string into words and put into an array@array = split( /;/, “Larry;Curly;Moe” );@array= (“Larry”, “Curly”, “Moe”);
# creates the same array as we saw previously
Split into characters@stooge = split( //, “curly” );# array @stooge has 5 elements: c, u, r, l, y
![Page 46: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
Split cont.. Split on any character
@array = split( /:/, “10:20:30:40”);# array has 4 elements : 10, 20, 30, 40
Split on Multiple White Space@array = split(/\s+/, “this is a test”;# array has 4 elements : this, is, a, test
More on ‘\s+’ later
![Page 47: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
Arrays to Strings
Array to space separated string@array = (“Larry”, “Curly”, “Moe”);$string = join( “;“, @array);
# string = “Larry;Curly;Moe”
Array of characters to string@stooge = (“c”, “u”, “r”, “l”, “y”);$string = join( “”, @stooge );
# string = “curly”
![Page 48: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
48
Joining Arrays cont… Join with any character you want
@array = ( “10”, “20”, “30”, “40” );$string = join( “:”, @array);
# string = “10:20:30:40”
Join with multiple characters@array = “10”, “20”, “30”, “40”);$string = join(“->”, @array);
# string = “10->20->30->40”
![Page 49: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Arrays as Stacks and Lists
To append to the end of an array :@array = ( “Larry”, “Curly”, “Moe” );push (@array, “Shemp” );print $array[3]; # prints “Shemp”
To remove the last element of the array (LIFO)$elment = pop @array;print $element; # prints “Shemp” @array now has the original elements (“Larry”, “Curly”, “Moe”)
![Page 50: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
50
Arrays as Stacks and Lists
To prepend to the beginning of an array@array = ( “Larry”, “Curly”, “Moe” );unshift @array, “Shemp”;print $array[3]; # prints “Moe”print “$array[0]; # prints “Shemp”
To remove the first element of the array $element = shift @array;print $element; # prints “Shemp” The array now contains only :
“Larry”, “Curly”, “Moe”
![Page 51: 7.1.intro_perl](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070508/577cc7b41a28aba711a1a7f0/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

Exercise: Spliting Instructions
Remove shift: beginning, pop: end
Add Unshift: beginning, push: end
Use split, shift and push to turn the following string:
“The enquiry 1 was administered to five couples”“The enquiry 2 was administered to six couples”“The enquiry 3 was administered to eigh couples”

Exercise: Spliting Use split, shift and push to turn the following string:
$s[0]= “The enquiry 1 was administered to five couples”;$s[1]= “The enquiry 2 was administered to six couples”;$s[2]= “The enquiry 3 was administered to eigh couples”;foreach $s(@s)
{@s2=split (/was administered to/, $s);$new_s=“$s2[1] were admimistered $s2[0]”;print “$new_s\n”;

Multi Dimensional Arrays
Better use Hash tables (cf later) If you need to:
@tab=([‘Monday’,’Tuesday’],[‘Morning’,’Afternoon’,’Evening’]);
$a=$tab[0][0] # $a == ‘Monday’$tab2=(‘midnight’, ‘Twelve’);$tab[2]=\@tab2 # integrate tab2 as the last row
of tab
