|
|
Perl is a family of high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language. The Perl languages borrow freatures 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
|
|
ADD . /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 single file projects, it may not be convenient to write a `Dockerfile` for your project. 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

We recommend discussing your plans through a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/Perl/docker-perl/issues) before starting to code - especially for more ambitious contributions. This gives other contributors a chance to point you in the right direction, give feedback on your design, and maybe point out if someone else is working on the same thing.
