Chapter 22. The Perl Utility

Chapter 22. The Perl Utility

As mentioned in the previous chapter, the perl utility provided by the iSeries Tools for Developers product is a PASE utility. Qshell provides direct support to run PASE utilities without starting a PASE environment or leaving the Qshell environment.

Perl is a truly popular piece of scripting/programming software (covered by the GNU General Public License) that can be used to do just about anything. Larry Wall originally released perl in 1987 as a Unix system-administration tool. It has now reached version 5.8, and runs on dozens of platforms.
