Description

Perl (Practical Extraction and Report Language) is an interpreted, versatile, and powerful programming language, originally developed for text processing and system administration. It is commonly used for:

  • analyzing and transforming text files,
  • web development and CGI scripts,
  • automating system tasks,
  • manipulating databases and complex data structures.

Perl stands out for its flexibility, its vast ecosystem of modules (CPAN), and its ability to combine expressiveness and performance in scripts.
