It's basically a self-contained unit of code that you can reuse in many applications. Most modules end in ".pm" - if you see "use XXX;" in a Perl script, there's a corresponding module, XXX.pm<br /><br />If you've been into Perl for a while, you'll soon get into modules. There are tens of thousands ready-available, you obtain them at a site called CPAN (cpan.org) and they're a fantastic time saver. The first rule is - check if someone has written a module that does what you want <i>before</i> trying to do it yourself!<br /><br />For biologists who use Perl, you can't beat the Bioperl modules (bioperl.org). With Bioperl experience, you could easily solve your sequence splitting problem in a few lines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32079676.post-1157741351660434662006-09-08T11:49:00.000-07:002006-09-08T11:49:00.000-07:00PERL seems very complicated!!!and no, I didn't gro...PERL seems very complicated!!!<BR/><BR/>and no, I didn't grow the cells with antibiotic in the medium when I made the freezer stocks.<BR/><BR/>I have about 6 tubes of the freezer stock.

It seems useless as far as learning how to get it running properly using the command line.
