You can run a Perl script as a prefix file with CodeWarrior projects. To enable this functionality, you must first install additional software plug-ins. After you install these plug-ins, you can configure CodeWarrior to recognize the Perl script.

This chapter discusses the following topics:

• Installing the Perl Software Plug-ins
• Configuring the Perl Target Settings Panel
• Perl Scripting
• Special Considerations

Using Perl enables the IDE to run Perl scripts as part of a project's build process. Perl scripts are executed first, before any source code compilation. This allows projects to generate source code via Perl.
