Do you need to download anything special to use Pearl with Linux? Any info would be appreciated. I have no clue.

all you have to do is install the perl interpreter...it's availible with every distribution...
Maybe it's already installed. How do I check, and where do I write code, in vi or emacs? Does the code get compiled on the command line?
you can write perl scripts with any editor, and they are not compiled. it's an interpreted language. you just enter the name of you script on the command line, and it should run if the interpreter is installed and can be found...
i'm almost positive it's installed...
Run
perl --version
on the command line to see if it's installed.
Yes, I have it, good. So I would use it the same way shell scripts are made. Okay, thanks.
