# What is Perl?
|
|
|
|
Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming
|
|
language. The Perl language borrows features from other programming languages,
|
|
including C, shell scripting (sh), AWK, and sed.

# How to use this image
|
|
|
|
## Create a `Dockerfile` in your Perl app project
|
|
|
|
FROM perl:5.20
|
|
COPY . /usr/src/myapp
|
|
WORKDIR /usr/src/myapp
|
|
CMD [ "perl", "./your-daemon-or-script.pl" ]
|
|
|
|
Then, build and run the Docker image:
|
|
|
|
docker build -t my-perl-app .
|
|
docker run -it --rm --name my-running-app my-perl-app
|
|
|
|
## Run a single Perl script
|
|
|
|
For many simple, single file projects, you may find it inconvenient to write a
|
|
complete `Dockerfile`. In such cases, you can run a Perl script by using the
|
|
Perl Docker image directly:
|
|
|
|
docker run -it --rm --name my-running-script -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp perl:5.20 perl your-daemon-or-script.pl
