My suggestion is get the 'Camel Book' by O'Reilly - for specifics on Perl
scripting. I started reading it but currently my brain if 'full' and gave
it a rest - however -

To run a perl script assuming that perl is in /bin you can do

/bin/perl foo (foo being the script you want to run) or on the first line
of the script

#!/bin/perl

...script stuff

<eof>

then run it from the command line....
