Description: Larry Walls Practical Extraction and Report Language
Perl is a highly capable, feature-rich programming language with over
20 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from
portables to mainframes. Perl is suitable for both rapid prototyping
and large scale development projects.
.
Perl 5 supports many programming styles, including procedural,
functional, and object-oriented. In addition to this, it is supported
by an ever-growing collection of reusable modules which accelerate
development. Some of these modules include Web frameworks, database
integration, networking protocols, and encryption. Perl provides
interfaces to C and C++ for custom extension development.
