Small tutorial on how to use Perl within org

Small tutorial on how to use Perl within org

[D M German]

hi everybody,

I have created a  small document that describes how to use perl within
org. Hopefully others will find it useful:

http://turingmachine.org/~dmg/emacs/examplePerl.org

Nice, would you consider contributing it to Worg?  I'd like to ask you
to update your Org and that description to the extra features I've
recently implemented for Perl.

Nice.

It would be great to use this document as the basis of ob-doc-perl.
Perl is one of about 20 languages that need to be documented at
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages.html.  

Note that there is a template that helps create a "standard" language
document: 

http://orgmode.org/w/?p=worg.git;a=blob;f=org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-template.org;hb=HEAD

I don't know the first thing about Perl, but I'll be happy to help if
there are questions about getting to ob-doc-perl from the template.

All the best,
Tom

It sounds good. I'll do it. I'll probably have it ready the end of the
week or beginning of next. 

I'll also take care of SQL, which I have been using under Org too.

This is welcome news.  Let me know if there is any way I can help.
