... It's hard to know how to answer the question well -- not because
it's not well-known, but because it's in any textbook on the language
For the immediate question, if your system has "man perlop" available,
you can do
/Auto-increment and Auto-decrement
and get an explanation.
http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#Auto-increment-and-Auto-decrement
reaches the same explanation.
"Increment" means "increase by one", and "decrement" means "decrease
by one".
But because it's a simple question (though hard to do a Web search for
"++", I agree): I think you should probably get a Perl book.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_Perl
called "the Camel Book" due to the animal on the cover
is recommended by most as a good introduction. You might read pages
in order to learn, or look in the index for a specific question.
