Learn basics of Perl in a day

I'm new to bioinformatics and recently started learning Perl. I found several rival distributions available for Windows platform, which confuse me at the begining. I google it and found that Strawberry comes with additional dev tools to compile...

Mostly FASTA file contain NNN characters, which can be replace by random A T G C character with this perl script. It also print the FASTA sequence name, N's counts, nucleotide count and percentage details at command prompt/standard output.  

Perl has a ton of command line switches (see perldoc perlrun), but I'm just going to cover the ones you'll commonly need to debug code. The most important switch is -e, for execute (or maybe "engage" :) ). The -e switch takes a quoted string of Perl...
