How to Clean Up Perl Script Format
Perl is a programming language used for computer applications. If you have a Perl script with errors in it, you will need to remove the typos in the script to get the program working. You don't have to be a computer programmer to debug your Perl programs. You can do it yourself with just a few keystrokes in the Perl environment. Perl offers a debugging command that will allow you to go through the program line by line.
