(Perl) Programming on Ubuntu

[Sacrifice]

I have a few questions. I want to be involved in some sort of programming community/project on Ubuntu in Perl, but I'm not too good at CGI or anything like that. I also can't get the gnome-terminal to run working Perl scripts; it gives no response as if it did nothing. I'm on Version 8.10 and it recognizes it as a Perl script when I view the properties. Any help would help.

Are they executable? Try chmodding the perl script(s) using

chmod 1744 <name of file>
and then run <name of file>
<name of file> should obviously be replaced with the actual file
name.
prepend sudo if you do not own the file. (permission denied)

To do this in nautilus, browse to the file, right-click it and click properties, click permissions, and check the box at the bottom marked "Allow executing file as a program"

Thanks. Do you know anything about any new Perl projects I can join or how I could find one?

Maybe this site (http://perl-begin.org/) will be helpful?

Thanks. I guess I'll just re-learn HTML along with CSS and CGI.

Great Idea - HTML+CSS are the language of the web, so you will definatly want to know them. Good luck.
