CIS 270 - Perl Programming

• The goal of this class is to understand Perl at some significant depth. The course will cover the most useful functions and Perl modules and will focus on the practical aspects of writing applications in Perl. We will focus on program design using Perl, complex data structures and using the documentation that comes with the language. Upon successful completion of the course, you should be able to write and debug moderately complex applications.
