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

You are invited to contribute new features, fixes, or updates, large or small; we are always thrilled to receive pull requests, and do our best to process them as fast as we can.
Before you start to code, we recommend discussing your plans through a GitHub issue, especially for more ambitious contributions. This gives other contributors a chance to point you in the right direction, give you feedback on your design, and help you find out if someone else is working on the same thing.
