Want to hire Perl developers on your own? Here are the skills you must look for while hiring the best Perl developer
Hiring Perl developers might be a complicated task for you if you are a non-technical manager. Perl is a high-level programming language and is used widely in text-manipulation and easily generates reports from various text-files. Also, Perl has the ability to convert the text-files from one format to another. But, hiring the best Perl developers among thousands of Perl developers is a challenging task for anyone. So, Ultragenius is here to assist you while hiring the top talented Perl developers on your own.
The following skills you must ensure while hiring a Perl developer –
Steadfast knowledge of Perl Scalars
Perl Scalar is a variable that stores one unit of data at a time. The data can be of the different variable types including a character, a string, a floating point number, an integer number, a paragraph, or it can be an entire web page also. If the Perl developer is using a string with a string scalar, the string scalar if put inside double quotes will only print output with the value of string scalar.
For example, $var = “Welcome to UltraGenius!!!”;
$single = ‘This statement is inside a single quote – $var’;
$double = “This statement is inside double quotes – $var”;
print “single = $single\n”; Output – This statement is inside a single quote – $var
print “double = $double\n”; Output – This statement is inside double quotes – Welcome to UltraGenius!!!.
Experience writing code in Perl and knowledge of CGI
The Perl developer must have experience writing Perl code. The developer must know special literals like – __FILE__, __LINE__, and __PACKAGE__, array and array slices, the methods associated with the arrays like push, pop, shift, and unshift. The Perl developers must know about creating GUIs efficiently, designing Common Gateway Interfaces (CGI), and retrieving information from different text-format files.
Knowledge of different data types
There are three types of data types available in Perl – Scalars, Arrays, and Hashes (Associative Arrays).
- Scalars – Scalars stores a single data unit at a time. The data can be a string, a char, an integer, or a floating-point number. Multiple operations like addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, etc. can be performed on Scalars.
- Arrays – An array is a list data type which stores homogeneous elements.
- Hashes – Hashes are also known as Associative arrays. Hashes stores the data in the form of key-value pair. For accessing values from Hashes, Perl developers can followed by {}.
Knowledge of Object-Oriented Programming concepts
Perl is an Object-Oriented Programming Language. Therefore, the Perl developer must know about the four pillars of OOPS including Encapsulation, Inheritance, Abstraction, and Polymorphism.
Encapsulation – Encapsulation bundles the data along with member functions that operate on the data. It binds the data into a single unit.
Inheritance – Inheritance is the mechanism by which a class can extend the functionality of another class. Inheritance gives the Perl developer an advantage to reuse the same code.
Abstraction – Abstraction enables data-hiding by showing the user only the necessary details and hiding the implementation details.
Polymorphism – Polymorphism is the ability of a function to take many forms. Polymorphism is of two types – Compile-time Polymorphism and Run-time Polymorphism. In Compile-time Polymorphism, the invoking method is decided by the type or number of arguments if there are multiple methods present with the same name. Run-time Polymorphism is achieved through Method Overriding. The child class provides the specific implementation of the parent class and the method invoked is decided at the run-time.
Experienced working with code versioning tools like Git, SVN, TFS
perl developers must have a very good knowledge of version control systems, like Git, SVN, TFS, and Mercurial. Mostly, developers use Git for their work. It is the version control system that helps the team in collaborating and organizing your code, maintain the frequent changes that occur in the code. Git helps in reviewing the old codes and compares them with the newly updated code, pulling the code from their repository, and managing the commit history.
Along with this, the Perl developer must know how to use add, push, pull, and commit commands, how to do branching, and merging as it allows developers in different field to work independently on the code.
Strong understanding of data structures and algorithms
Knowledge of data structures and algorithms enables a Perl developer write meaningful and concise code. You must ensure that the Perl developer developers you are hiring must know about popular algorithms like merge sort, quick sort, insertion sort, selection sort, their time-complexities, binary-search, binary trees, binary search trees, etc.
Knowledge of HTML, CSS, and Javascript
Perl is used to design Graphical User Interfaces andGateway Interfaces for the web applications. Perl is a web-friendly language and can be embedded into servers to design dynamic web pages with increased processing power. Perl also has DBI package which helps Perl developers integrate the web pages with a database very easily. Perl is compatible with HTML, CSS, and Javascript. The Perl developers must have basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
Hands-on experience with databases like MySQL, Sybase, Oracle Server, etc
Perl provides excellent support working with databases like MySQL, SQL server, Oracle Server, Sybase, MongoDB, etc. The Perl developer must have experience developing applications with databases, must know about database connectivity, database packages, etc. Perl also supports NoSQL (Not only SQL) databases. The Perl developer must know about SQL commands such as Data Definition Language (DDL), Data Manipulation Language (DML), Transaction Control Language (TCL), Data Querying Language (DQL), etc.
Knowledge of DBI module
Using Perl, Perl developers can create robust web applications connecting them with a database. Perl provides a wide range of database format and an excellent support for creating GUIs. For querying and connecting the user interface with the database, Perl contains a database interface module called DBI. DBI communicates with the web server to use Structured Query Language (SQL) to get data from the database.
Excellent Problem-Solving Skills
The Perl developer must have a strong problem solving skill because it helps developers to utilize existing solutions for the projects more efficiently, thinking abstractly, and enables them to write pseudocode for their project. The Perl developer must know how to debug the code as well. Also, check if the Perl developer is able to write clean and concise code so that other team members can understand it easily.
