Perl

Production Perl for EDA flows — log scraping, report generation, and tool wrappers.

Intermediate 3h 0m readEDAScripting

Perl remains entrenched in EDA flows — most legacy CAD scripts at major semiconductor companies are still in Perl. You will need it to work in any established VLSI team.

Syllabus

  • Perl fundamentals — scalars, arrays, hashes
  • Regular expressions in depth (Perl's superpower)
  • File processing and report generation
  • Real EDA examples: parsing synthesis reports, log mining, file munging
