[TuxGnome]

Are these video too old for this time ? I want to learn perl.

[elvisniperx]

what are the similarities and differences of Perl and PHP? . i know how to code PHP and do i need to learn Pearl?

[ziakhan6565]

can i use perl for hacking like websites or accounts. i want to become a great hacker so which one computer langauge should i learn for that purpose???

[driftingeric2k4]

@ziakhan6565 No one language will do it.  If you want to hack a site that is coded in Perl, you use Perl. If you want to hack a site written in PHP, you use PHP. Most sites you can hack with simple SQL injection since the bulk of your "developers" dont know squat about security. I am a web developer and do penetration testing and know easily 15 languages. Most of my own sites are done in PHP with a MySql backend. Most sites are written using mutliple languages. Perl/PHP/Jscript, etc etc

[ziakhan6565]

@driftingeric2k4 ah! thnx Alot dear....can you tell me plz wich one language should use for hack facebook account..?

[driftingeric2k4]

@ziakhan6565 Facebook's user facing side is written in PHP

[ziakhan6565]

@driftingeric2k4 Thnks ALot dear realy you have solved mY problem.:)

[driftingeric2k4]

@ziakhan6565 No problem at all. Have fun on your programming adventures. I love PHP, it is a great language to learn you can do so much with it.

[ziakhan6565]

@bermnz can i use perl for hacking like websites or accounts. i want to become a great hacker so which one computer langauge should i learn for that purpose???

[rogerthis26]

Hey im just about to start learning, how long do you think it will take etc and any good ways of learning?

[bermnz]

@rogerthis26 You just have to put in a few hours to understand it and practice and think of good ideas for it's use, a few weeks and months should be enough time.

[JLocky97]

Is there anything better than Perl, and is it better than HTML?

[bermnz]

@JLocky97 Perl and Php are similar, HTML does not allow programming like Perl etc.

[JLocky97]

@bermnz Ah, okay, since I am learning, I am hoping to get A-Levels in IT, and going on to Uni for Web Development will I learn that stuff in any of those places?

[bermnz]

@JLocky97 Yeah probably but you should practice and teach yourself also.

[bermnz]

@JLocky97 Yeah probably but you should practice and teach yourself also.

[JLocky97]

@bermnz Okay, thank you, I think I am going to learn CSS first then go onto this.

[jccooluser]

im viewer 60,666 i think this is telling me something

[nalgaface123456789]

So if you know how to program in perl can you make a fully functional website?

[bermnz]

@nalgaface123456789 Yes, you can, one that has many bags of tricks!

[nalgaface123456789]

awesome!



[EtyleN]

@nalgaface123456789 should learn some php and html as well :)

[D4RK5iDERS]

You like to state the obvious quite a bit ...

Thanks for the video though :)

[TheRatiniked]

it's like watching a soccer game just listening to him! lol

[mongi83]

Great job :)

[v1Broadcaster]

if you want games i recomend flash (Adobe CS5) or doing some research pm me for more info

[QusonTheWolf]

when I click on the program, and the black windows opnes, but its nothing to fill in

[EBOWARRIOR]

I have just bought a domain and hosting and then it occured to me i know nothing about web design lol, for some reason i thought it would be quite easy. thanks for these tutorials.

[BrinkOnEdge]

Not australian, sounds kiwi...

[rogerthis26]

you sound australian

[LikeEminem]

i think he's new zealand

[mrlobx]

vpython is a great game creator language!

perl doesn't really specialize in it...

[ZanX952]

Ehhm, they do...

[SysAdmin86851]

try out python and the pygame module and pyOpenGL if you want to make games, you can make any kind of game you want ...

[TarnaComedy]

can perl be used to make video games?

[bermnz]

Not really, you need to learn flash possibly.

[TarnaComedy]

no I

[TarnaComedy]

SORRY IT WOULDNT LET ME FINISH THE COMMENT ANYWAYS i MEANT VIDEO GAME wth? I never hit caps lock! sry my keyboard is fucked up

[BrinkOnEdge]

Web based games flash, otherwise learn c++.

[kw1ksh0t]

@bermnz Lol of course it can

[ryuguns]

@bermnz Why would you suggest someone to use flash when they can simply use html5 instead?

[sandorlev]

yeah python is easy and really good for games, for example battlefield: heroes is partly written in it.

[fleemanson]

Google is too, i heard.

[nosajb23]

haha epic

[sandorlev]

google is not a game ;)

[fleemanson]

oh sorry i thought it was my bad :S

[ZanX952]

They got a easter egg game ;)

[runrig97]

@TarnaComedy : Yes, there are bindings for, e.g., the SDL and Ogre libraries that you can use from Perl. Python also can use SDL, except it calls the library "pygame".

[ramonet27101993]

@TarnaComedy i know nothing about perl but i can say u that every programming language can be used to programming videogames, but logikally someones are better than others, if u want to do 2D game best use flash i use macromedia flash 8 if u want to programming 3D games use c++ its a lil difficult but when u domain it ull do really good games, coz c++ is really fast and a 3D games need a fast compiler

[TolgaCakiroglu]

@TarnaComedy Yes you can. For GUI applications, you can use GTK+. Also by using OpenGL interface, you can even write 3D games. But I can't say it runs as fast as example a C++ game. But at least, YES YOU CAN!!

[thatguywithnoname]

cool a kiwi lol

[mysania]

who ever is the owner of this tutorial plz make it public. its a good piece of material u have uploaded here. thank you

Perl for scripts, programmes u need other language, like Delphi.

[DARKlilution]

I am from greece,I dont know good english.

[DARKlilution]

sooo,can u explain what is a script?

I am from greece,I dont know good english.

also,can you explain what can someone do with perl?

oh,and listen my problem

i have downloaded dzsoft and another perl editor(perl express)

when i open my perl program it opens the perl editor and shows me the script code

when i unistaled both programs and tried to open my program it just opened a comand promt for about 2 seconds

plz help!!!!

[bermnz]

Perl generally makes dynamic web pages that accepts input and outputs something.

[DARKlilution]

can u explain how to make a webpage with perl?

u put the code together with the html script or something?

oh,and explain to my why when i try to open my perl program it just opens a command promt for about 2 seconds

[yezidi11]

its good for crashing websites dont ask me how it works..

[homebusinesssupport]

Your perl script will only run on a webserver with a perl interpreter installed.. if u double click perl script locally.. it will not run.

[DARKlilution]

that means that if I put perl code instead of html and upload it and someone opens it ,it will work?

[homebusinesssupport]

If uploaded to a webserver with perl, and if configured properly, yes perl will run.

[necrolightgregz]

@DARKlilution ki egw ellinas eimai

[homebusinesssupport]

You can use Perl to create web applications i.e. will run over the web.. Using a CMD statement it can also run command lines on the machine where perl program resides.

[CSryoh]

@DARKlilution yeah perl can have some gui, look into tk. actually o'reilly has two books you might want to look into. One one perl programming and one on advanced perl programming. look att the toc.

[Drae5000cp]

When I use Dzsoft, and I click run with command prompt, then run on the popup. It doesn't run, it just opens command prompt. Do you know what might be wrong?

[Drae5000cp]

What are you suppose to save Perl files as?

[tenzinpalden]

.PL

[thepersonthat]

Perl - Write once, Read never.

5 stars

[toastm4n]

thank you mate

[japierdoleokurwa]

check mate :)

[Pablos544]

Nice clear speech. You seem to know your Perl. I am impressed with the high volume of utilities on your site. I never got the hang of Perl, but it's obviously a great standard and powerful language, so I'm glad to know there's good guys like you out there to ask! Nice advice about the editor; at least I know where to go now if i want to start. Great job, nicely done :)

[rmcknearny]

croiky

[itchyhooves]

This is the best series of tutorials on perl that exist freely on the web at the current time. Quite simply AWESOME!!!

[CPUhacker24]

Do you have to use the Perl Editor. Can't you do it in notepad and save it as .bat

I made my first game that way.

[bermnz]

Notepad is fine I guess. Dunno about .bat.

[80cwyk80]

im going to start working with your tuts and see if i can give it a go. im trying to create my own website with a p2p file transfer and also a facebook detail somewhat. thx for the tuts. very thorough and to the point good.5 stars!!!!

[reaverbrook]

I have been looking for this kind of video for ages. Finally I nail you down! Thank you buddy, you did an excellent job on this! I appreciate your effort to make the tutorials! I just hope you don't delete them before I finish all of the tutorials!

[tenzinpalden]

I took a perl class but i just passed that class with nothing in my head,but here you have made everthing so easy...thanks a great deal. keep the good work.

[maayongadlaw]

[M0BiL3]

Great work on this video! It's obvious that you know the system "Perl, active perl, edit perl ect..." It's also obvious that you took a lot of time and consideration into the making of this video 5 stars, i would say

[rubelcool]

wow ...may b something like this i've been looking for ...i tried reading book to learn perl but it didnt work for me so i kinda gave up ...but seeing this enormous treasure (videos) of urs make me fired up again ...thnx verymuch for ur hard work to share knowledge ...i hope this time i can learn some perl for real ...q:-{D>

[kisvukk81]

Thanks!!! This is a usefull way of learning. You are great!

[naadan1]

Hi,

Thank you so much for your enormous effort in making the perl tutorials. You are doing a wonderful job.

[betoian]

Good:

teaching, visual language, tips, tools, addresses, image size of what is exposed!

It is like learning perl with a friend! (the best way of learning perl :) )

I wonder why I didn't have such a good help when I started learning perl. It is not so difficult to start with it in this way.

Then, when started, it is the best language to use on the web! Addictive!

Thank you, pal for helping so much to evangelize perl. (I have subscribed, of course!)
