Perl Reference Card Cheat Sheet

About 1.1 Scalars and Strings (cont) 1.2 Arrays and Lists (cont)
This is version 2 of the perl reference card. e(E) scientific notation reverse(@a); reverse @a
(cl) 2008 Michael Goerz <goerz@physik.fu- f decimal floating point @a = sort{$ela <=> sort numerically
berlin.de>.
$elb}(@a);
g, G shorter %e or %f /
http://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/~goerz/
%E or %f @a = split(/-/,$s); split string into @a
Information taken liberally from the perl
documentation and various other sources. o signed octal $s = join(“, ” @c); join @a elements
You may freely distribute this document. into string
s string of chars
@a2 = @a[1,2,6..9]; array slice
u, x, X unsigned decimal int /
1 Variable Types
hex int / hex int in @a2 = grep(!/^#/, @a); remove comments
caps from @a
1.1 Scalars and Strings
p address pointer
Perl image
chomp($str); discard trailing \n n nothing printed
$v = chop($str); $v becomes trailing modifiers: h,l,L arg is short int / long
char int, double/ long
eq, ne, lt, gt, le, ge, string comparison double
cmp More:
$str = “0” x 4; $str is now “0000” chr, crypt, hex, lc, q/STRING/,
$v = index($str, $x); find index of $x in $str, lcfirst, length, oct, ord, qq/STRING/, reverse,
pack uc, ucfirst
$v = rindex($str, $x); starting from left or right
$v = substr($str, extract substring 1.2 Arrays and Lists

$strt, $len);
@a = (1..5); array initialization
$cnt = $sky =~ tr/0- count the digits in $sky
9//; $i = @a; number of elements in
@a
$str =~ tr/a-zA-Z/ change non-alphas to
/cs; space ($a, $b) = ($b, swap $a and $b
1.3 Hashes
$a);
$v = sprintf(“%10s format string
%08d”,$s,$n); $x = $a[1]; access to index 1 %h=(k1 => “val1”,k2 hash initialization
=> 3);
Format String: %[flags][0] $i = $#a; last index in @a
[width][.precision][mod]ty $val = $map{k1}; recall value
push(@a, $s); appends $s to @a
pe @a = %h; array of keys and
$a = pop(@a); removes last element
types: values
chop(@a); remove last char (per el.)
%h = @a; create hash from array
c character
$a = shift(@a); removes first element
foreach $k iterate over list of keys
d(i) signed decimal int
(keys(%h)){..}
foreach $v iterate over list of

(vals(%h)){..} values
while (($k,$v)=each iterate over key-

%h){..} value-pairs
delete $h{k1}; delete key
exists $h{k1} does key exist?
defined $h{k1} is key defined?

1. just lines 15 to 17, efficiently
- split data into an array named @F
a perl -ne 'print if $. >= 15; exit if $. >= 17;'
- specify pattern for -a to use when splitting 2. just lines NOT between line 10 and 20
F perl -ne 'print unless 10 .. 20'
-i edit files in place
- run through all the @ARGV arguments as

n files, using <>

Examples: (cont) Examples: (cont)
3. lines between START and END 14. If you had installed any modules from
CPAN, then you will need to re-install all of
perl -ne 'print if /START$/ .. / END$/'
them. (Naveed Massjouni)
4. in-place edit of *.c files changing all foo to
perl -E 'say for grep /site_perl/,@INC'| xargs
bar
find | perl -Fsite_perl/ -lane 'print $F[1] if
perl -pi.bak -e 's/\bfoo\b/bar/g' *.c /\.pm$/' | cpanm --reinstall
5. delete first 10 lines 15. Give executable rights to all perl file in dir
perl -i.old -ne 'print unless 1 .. 10' foo.txt find /home/client0/public_html -type f -name
'*.pl' -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0755
6. change all the isolated oldvar occurrences to
newvar 16. Find files matching name-pattern
perl -i.old -pe 's{\boldvar\b}{newvar}g' *.[chy] https://gist.github.com/563679
perl -MFile::Find -le 'find(sub{print

7. printing each line in reverse order
$File::Find::name if /\b[a-z]{2}_[A-Z]
perl -e 'print reverse <>' file1 file2 file3 ....
{2}/},"/usr")'
8. find palindromes in the /usr/dict/words
dictionary file
perl -lne '$_ = lc $_; print if $_ eq reverse'

/usr/dict/words
9. command-line that reverses all the bytes in a

file
perl -0777e 'print scalar reverse <>' f1 f2 f3
10. word wrap between 50 and 72 chars
perl -p000e 'tr/ \t\n\r/ /; s/(.

{50,72})\s/$1\n/g;$_.="\n"x2'
11. strip and remove double spaces
perl -pe '$_ = " $_ "; tr/ \t/ /s; $_ =

substr($_,1,-1)'
12. move '.txt.out' to '.out'
perl -e '($n = $_) =~ s/\.txt(\.out)$/$1/ and

not -e $n and rename $_, $n for @ARGV' *
13. write a hash slice, which we have come as

a reference to a hash
perl -E'my $h={1..8}; say for @{$h}{1,3,5,7}'

perl -pe '$_ = " $_ "; tr/ \t/ /s; $_ =

12. move '.txt.out' to '.out'

perl -e '($n = $_) =~ s/\.tx​t(\.ou​t)$/$1/ and
