Beginning Perl

I finally cracked open the Perl book. Here’s my first program:

#/usr/bin/perl

print “Hello world\n”;

It’s a start. I built a CentOS 4.4 VM on my local machine (maxed it out at 384mb of RAM so my laptop doesn’t crawl when it runs) and am updating it via yum right now.

Tomorrow when it’s done downloading it’s 200mb worth of updates I’ll have my own little dev environment to play with.

Today “Hello World,” tomorrow IPSpace replacement.
