perl: Parse and execute a Perl script.
$ perl ${script-pl}
try on your machine
This command is written to execute a Perl script. Here is the breakdown of the components:
perl
: It is the interpreter for the Perl programming language. It is used to execute Perl scripts.${script-pl}
: It is a variable that represents the path to the Perl script file. The$
prefix in${script-pl}
indicates a variable in some shell environments (like bash).- When this command is executed, the Perl interpreter is invoked and it reads and executes the Perl script specified by the
${script-pl}
variable.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
