Perl Notes
Squish assumes that all test.pl
files use UTF-8 encoding. If you expect to edit such files outside of the Squish IDE, we recommend putting the following line at the start of each test.pl
file:
use utf8;
A Perl-savvy editor will notice this and will correctly load and save using the UTF-8 encoding that Squish expects, as a result. This statement should also be used in any .pl
files you require
and for which you want to use the UTF-8 encoding.
Perl Language Documentation
The Perl documentation contains a manual page perlintro that can serve as a good starting point. Links to other manual pages, tutorials and FAQs can be found on the Online Documentation and the perldoc page.
If you prefer books, a good Perl book is Programming Perl by Larry Wall (Perl's creator), Tom Christiansen, Jon Orwant.
