What's Next

You have completed the Perl course. You can now write idiomatic Perl — declaring variables, manipulating strings, working with arrays and hashes, writing subroutines, and processing data.

Go Deeper

• Regular expressions — Perl's regex engine supports lookahead, lookbehind, named captures, and more.
• References and complex data structures — build arrays of hashes, hashes of arrays, and nested data structures using references.
• Object-oriented Perl — use bless, packages, and Moose/Moo for OOP.
• CPAN modules — explore DBI for databases, LWP for web requests, JSON for data interchange, and thousands more.
• One-liners — use perl -e and perl -ne for powerful command-line text processing.

Resources

• Perl Official Documentation — the official language reference.
• Modern Perl by chromatic — a free book on writing clean, modern Perl.
• Learning Perl by Randal Schwartz — the classic introductory book.
• Exercism Perl Track — practice problems with mentoring.
