Prologue
Building on the previous Non
Programmers Intro to Perl" articles, we are continuing our intro to perl. Here, we'll discuss Hashes
(associative arrays) and subroutines. This, on top of the previous two articles, will complete your
intro to perl and will give you enough knowledge to begin to "hack" programs on your own*.
Please remember, in this series of articles, we are building a knowledge base from
the ground up. Each future article will expand and build on previous articles to help you gain a working
knowledge of PERL. This series is not intended to teach you how to program in perl.
However, if you do wish to learn how to create your own perl programs, we invite you to review
some of the many perl
books for sale.
* Please be sure to read the EULA (End User License Agreement) that comes with the program you wish to
customize. Many programmers require that in order for you to use the program, that the code must not be
altered in any way. In most cases, if you choose to customize the program, you will not be eligible for
support for the product anymore. Be sure you understand the copyrights and support policies of the
programmer.
