For more information about this image and its history, please see the relevant manifest file (library/perl) in the docker-library/official-images GitHub repo.
What is Perl?
Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language. The Perl language borrows features from other programming languages, including C, shell scripting (sh), AWK, and sed.
How to use this image
Create a Dockerfile in your Perl app project
FROM perl:5.20
COPY . /usr/src/myapp
WORKDIR /usr/src/myapp
CMD [ "perl", "./your-daemon-or-script.pl" ]
Then, build and run the Docker image:
docker build -t my-perl-app .
docker run -it --rm --name my-running-app my-perl-app
Run a single Perl script
For many simple, single file projects, you may find it inconvenient to write a complete Dockerfile. In such cases, you can run a Perl script by using the Perl Docker image directly:
docker run -it --rm --name my-running-script -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp perl:5.20 perl your-daemon-or-script.pl
