Running Perl Scripts

All language-specific versions of Understand include a Perl package called “Understand”. This package provides a set of Perl classes and methods that you can use to create Perl scripts with read-only access to Understand databases and the Understand environment. Note that Understand databases cannot be changed by API functions.

This chapter provides an overview of the Understand package. This manual does not describe how to use Perl itself. For information about Perl scripting, see a book or online resource regarding Perl.

Perl API Class and Method Reference provides a complete list of the classes and methods in the Understand package.
