What is Perl ?
![Page 8: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Perl is available for most computing platforms: all flavors of UNIX (Linux), MS-DOS/Win32, Macintosh, VMS, OS/2, Amiga, AS/400, Atari
• Perl is a computer language that is:– Interpreted, compiles at run-time (need for
perl.exe !)– Loosely “typed”– String/text oriented– Capable of using multiple syntax formats
• In Perl, “there’s more than one way to do it”
What is Perl ?
![Page 9: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Ease of use by novice programmers• Flexible language: Fast software prototyping (quick
and dirty creation of small analysis programs)• Expressiveness. Compact code, Perl Poetry:
@{$_[$#_]||[]}• Glutility: Read disparate files and parse the relevant
data into a new format• Powerful pattern matching via “regular
expressions” (Best Regular Expressions on Earth)• With the advent of the WWW, Perl has become the
language of choice to create Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts to handle form submissions and create compute severs on the WWW.
• Open Source – Free. Availability of Perl modules for Bioinformatics and Internet.
Why use Perl for bioinformatics ?
![Page 10: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Some tasks are still better done with other languages (heavy computations / graphics)– C(++),C#, Fortran, Java (Pascal,Visual Basic)
• With perl you can write simple programs fast, but on the other hand it is also suitable for large and complex programs. (yet, it is not adequate for very large projects)– Python
• Larry Wall: “For programmers, laziness is a virtue”
Why NOT use Perl for bioinformatics ?
![Page 11: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Sequence manipulation and analysis• Parsing results of sequence analysis
programs (Blast, Genscan, Hmmer etc)• Parsing database (eg Genbank) files• Obtaining multiple database entries
over the internet• …
What bioinformatics tasks are suited to Perl ?
![Page 12: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Example of problems we will be solving
• Primary Sequence analysis• Perform alignments• Simulation experiments to explain
Blast statistics• Predicting protein topology• Predicting secondary structures• “Real-life” problems
– Proteomics: Given aa masses find protein in database
– …

• Perl (op USB): – Perl is available for various operating systems. To
download Perl and install it on your computer, have a look at the following resources:
– www.perl.com (O'Reilly). • Downloading Perl Software
– ActiveState. ActivePerl for Windows, as well as for Linux and Solaris.
• ActivePerl binary packages. – CPAN

Perl installation
![Page 14: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Check installation
• Command-line flags for perl– Perl – v
• Gives the current version of Perl
– Perl –e• Executes Perl statements from the comment
line.– Perl –e “print 42;”– Perl –e “print \”Two\n\lines\n\”;”
– Perl –we• Executes and print warnings
– Perl –we “print ‘hello’;x++;”

How to enter your first program ?
• Gebruik een editor – DOS: EDIT– Windows:
• NOTEPAD (Let op!)• Word(Pad) -> TEXT FILE
– Scite: http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html
– Textpad– Others
• VIM• Eclipse
![Page 16: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Path: Route followed by OS to
locate, save, and/or retrieve a file
Brief Introduction to Subdirectories—The Path
![Page 17: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Probleem– Ofwel kan je perl starten– Ofwel kan je het script niet vinden– Ofwel kan je een file nodig in het script niet
vinden• Oplossing
– Don’t panic !– Gebruikt absolute path-namen
• D:\Perl\bin\perl.exe D:\temp\Test.pl– Let wel in je script met je de slash “escape”
• $filename = “d:\\Temp\\pdb.fasta”
Het absolute pad probleem …
![Page 18: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Oplossingen (II)– Kopieer al de files in dezelfde directory ! – Dus als je perl start vanuit D:\Perl\bin met perl
kan je wel verwijzen naar D:\Temp\test.pl maar dan moet ook de absolute verwijzing gebruikt worden voor $filename ofwel moet je pdb.fasta copieren naar D:\Perl\Bin
– Pas het zoekpad aan zodat je perl overal kan starten• Path (geeft het zoekpad)• Set Path (past het pad aan, Voorzichtig !). Gebruik de
dos environment variabele %path% om een directory toe te voegen
• Set path=%path%;d:\Perl\bin • (nadien kan de aanpassing controleren door “path” uit
te voeren)

Perl
![Page 22: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Perl is mostly a free format language: add spaces, tabs or new lines wherever you want.
• For clarity, it is recommended to write each statement in a separate line, and use indentation in nested structures.
• Comments: Anything from the # sign to the end of the line is a comment. (There are no multi-line comments).
• A perl program consists of all of the Perl statements of the file taken collectively as one big routine to execute.
General Remarks
![Page 23: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How does the real perl program look like:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
print “Hello everyone\n”;
Mandatory first line (on UNIX)
How to run it:
1. Save the text of your code as a file -- program.pl
2. Execute it:
perl program.pl
Hello everyone
![Page 24: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Three Basic Data Types
• Scalars - $• Arrays of scalars - @• Associative arrays of
scalers or Hashes - %
![Page 25: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
2+2 = ?
$a = 2;
$b = 2;
$c = $a + $b;
$ - indicates a variable
; - ends every command
= - assigns a value to a variable
$c = 2 + 2;or
$c = 2 * 2;or
$c = 2 / 2;or
$c = 2 ^ 4;or 2^4 <-> 24 =16
$c = 1.35 * 2 - 3 / (0.12 + 1);or
![Page 26: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Ok, $c is 4. How do we know it?
print “Hello \n”;
print command:
$c = 4;
print “$c”;
“ ” - bracket output expression
\n - print a end-of-the-line character
(equivalent to pressing ‘Enter’)
print “Hello everyone\n”;
print “Hello” . ” everyone” . “\n”;
Strings concatenation:
Expressions and strings together:
print “2 + 2 = “ . (2+2) . ”\n”;
expression
2 + 2 = 4
![Page 27: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Loops and cycles (for statement):
# Output all the numbers from 1 to 100
for ($n=1; $n<=100; $n+=1) {
print “$n \n”;
}
1. Initialization:for ( $n=1 ; ; ) { … }
2. Increment:for ( ; ; $n+=1 ) { … }
3. Termination (do until the criteria is satisfied):for ( ; $n<=100 ; ) { … }
4. Body of the loop - command inside curly brackets:for ( ; ; ) { … }
![Page 28: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
FOR & IF -- all the even numbers from 1 to 100:
for ($n=1; $n<=100; $n+=1) {
if (($n % 2) == 0) {
print “$n”;
}
}
Note: $a % $b -- Modulus -- Remainder when $a is divided by $b
![Page 29: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Two brief diversions (warnings & strict)
• Use warnings
• strict – forces you to ‘declare’ a variable the first time you use it.– usage: use strict; (somewhere near the top of
your script)• declare variables with ‘my’
– usage: my $variable;– or: my $variable = ‘value’;
• my sets the ‘scope’ of the variable. Variable exists only within the current block of code
• use strict and my both help you to debug errors, and help prevent mistakes.
![Page 30: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Unary Arithmetic Operators eg. Autoincrement ++
• If you place one of the auto operators before the variable, it is known as a pre-incremented (pre-decremented) variable. Its value will be changed before it is referenced. If it is placed after the variable, it is known as a post-incremented (post-decremented) variable and its value is changed after it is used
For example:• $a = 5; # $a is assigned 5 • $b = ++$a; # $b is assigned the incremented value of $a, 6 • $c = $a--; # $c is assigned 6, then $a is decremented to 5
#!e:\perl\bin\perl.exe• $getal1 = 5;• print $getal1."\n";• print $getal1++."\n";• print ++$getal1."\n";
![Page 31: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Logical and Comparison operators
• Equal (True if $a is equal to $b)– Numeric: ==– String: eq
• And: &&• Or: ||
![Page 32: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Schuifoperatoren
• Schuifoperatoren zijn handing voor manipulaties op bit-niveau: bv 40
256 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 00
000 1 0 1 0 0 0 Program• $getal1 = 40;• print "/4 ".($getal1 >> 2)."\n";• print "*8 ".($getal1 << 3)."\n";
>>2
<<3

Text Processing Functions
The substr function• Definition• The substr function extracts a substring out of a
string and returns it. The function receives 3 arguments: a string value, a position on the string (starting to count from 0) and a length.
Example:• $a = "university"; • $k = substr ($a, 3, 5); • $k is now "versi" $a remains unchanged. • If length is omitted, everything to the end of the
string is returned.
![Page 34: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Random
#!c:\perl\bin\perl.exe -w#srand(time|$$);$x = rand(1);
• srand – The default seed for srand, which used to be time, has
been changed. Now it's a heady mix of difficult-to-predict system-dependent values, which should be sufficient for most everyday purposes. Previous to version 5.004, calling rand without first calling srand would yield the same sequence of random numbers on most or all machines. Now, when perl sees that you're calling rand and haven't yet called srand, it calls srand with the default seed. You should still call srand manually if your code might ever be run on a pre-5.004 system, of course, or if you want a seed other than the default
![Page 35: Bioinformatica p1-perl-introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.nl/reader033/viewer/2022052506/5576940dd8b42af5528b502c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• Oefening hoe goed zijn de random nummers ?
• Als ze goed zijn kan je er Pi mee berekenen …
• Een goede random generator is belangrijk voor goede randomsequenties die we nadien kunnen gebruiken in simulaties
