Unix Shell Command in PERL

Unix shell commands are command-line instructions that can be used to perform various tasks on a Unix-based operating system. In Perl, these commands can be executed using the system() function or the backtick operator (). For example, the command `ls -l` could be executed in Perl using either `system(“ls -l”)` or ls -l“.

Arithmetic Expressions in PERL

Arithmetic expressions in Perl are used to perform mathematical calculations. They can include operators such as +, -, *, /, and % for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and modulus, respectively. For example, the expression $x + $y would add the values of the variables $x and $y, while $x / $y would divide the value of $x by the value of $y.

Nested Arrays Arithmetic Expressions in PERL

A nested array in Perl is an array that contains one or more other arrays as its elements. These nested arrays can be accessed using multiple levels of indexing, with the innermost arrays being accessed using the most indices. For example, if @a is an array containing the elements (1, 2, [3, 4]), then $a[2][1] would access the element 4.
