Usage Notes

For many simple, single file projects, you may find it inconvenient to write a complete Dockerfile. In such cases, you can run a Perl script by using the Perl Docker image directly:

docker run -it --rm --name my-running-script -v {docker_volume}/path/to/myapp:/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp \
        icr.io/ibmz/perl:[version] perl your-script.pl
