Hello @dada1234

splunk can get parse output of any script which supported by the operating system. Follow these steps for Linux:

1. write a perl script

   #!/usr/bin/perl
   print "hello";

2. place it in /opt/splunk/etc/apps/search/bin/ and add an executable bit

   chmod +x /opt/splunk/etc/apps/search/bin/test.pl

3. test your script using CLI

   /opt/splunk/etc/apps/search/bin/test.pl
   hello

4. configure your inputs.conf (/opt/splunk/etc/apps/search/local/inputs.conf)

   [script://./bin/test.pl]
   disabled = false
   sourcetype = test1
   interval = 10

5. restart splunk

6. search

   index=* sourcetype=test1

Splunk supports Python and shell (bash) scripts. Other program/script types can be invoked via bash. If you describe want you want to accomplish then perhaps someone can be more specific.

But what about Splunk Cloud. Does it also support Perl?

It’s still same situation for supported languages. Supported means e.g. splunklib etc. integration support. Of course you could use almost any languages to do e.g. scripted inputs.
