Share This:

Perl
Perl, the Practical Extraction and Reporting Language (or Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister, depending upon whom you ask) is an interpreted computer programing language originally intended for use in scanning data and text files, extracting information and generating reports from that information.

Perl consists of a set of one or more text files, the perl binary engine and a set of perl modules or 'libraries'. Perl is one of the most widely used scripting languages because it is powerful, flexible and suitable for everything from system administration to middleware applications.
