Basic syntax overview
A Perl script or program consists of one or more statements. These
statements are simply written in the script in a straightforward
fashion. There is no need to have a "main()" function or anything of
that kind.
Perl statements end in a semi-colon:
print "Hello, world";
Comments start with a hash symbol and run to the end of the line
# This is a comment
Hey! Didn't you just say straightforward? Well everybody knows a hash symbol
is a "%" so you had better say "a pound sign, or so called hash symbol,
not to be confused with the hash operator..." or something.
