Abstract:
Perl is an ideal language for programming Home Automation projects. If you are not familiar with Perl, it can present a bit of a learning curb.
This article will show you some simple tips and tricks that make the difference between primitive scripts and professional appearing Perl programs.
This is not a Perl tutorial. There are lots of those already available. Rather, this is an "Engineering Notebook" of simple tips, tricks and tools to make your Perl program and/or "HAL script" simpler, more elegant and easier to maintain.
