In this example, we are creating a perl application and executing that using Docker. This example includes the following steps.

1. Create a directory to manage application files.
$ mkdir perl-docker-app



2. Change directory
$ cd perl-docker-app



3. Create a Docker file

// Dockerfile

FROM perl:5.20 COPY . /var/www/php WORKDIR /var/www/php CMD [ “perl”, “index.pl”]
4. Create a Perl file

// index.pl

print “Hello from perl file”;
5. Create Docker Image
$ docker build -t perl-app .



6. Run the build image
$ docker run perl-app



After running the docker image it executes the perl script and print a message in the console screen.
