====== Perl Exercises ======

  * Deadline: TBA
    * Use the Perl exercises dropbox on ecampus. Don't dropbox any input or output files.
    * ecampus will reject files with the .pl extension, so either rename your files to .txt or zip your .pl files and dropbox them.

  * **NOTE:** __Unless otherwise noted__, all work listed here is mandatory and counts toward your assignments grade.

  * **NOTE 2:** (Exercises 2-6 can be completed using regular expression search and replace or standard functions such as //length// or //split//.)

  * **NOTE 3:** You must insert your name, program description, course name, and semester in a comment block at the top of each program or else you will lose points.

===== Exercise 1 - word length occurrences =====

Download //[[https://piazza.com/class_profile/get_resource/mkk6hlengol2ni/mkk840hcrhj18c|english.sorted.txt]]// to your perl exercises folder. The //english.sorted.txt// file contains a list of words of variable length.  Write //perlex1.pl// to find the number of occurrences of each word length in //english.sorted.txt//. That is, find and print the number of words in //english.sorted.txt// that are one character long, two characters long, three characters long and so on.
