<p>First</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Perl''' is a family of high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic [[Programming language|programming languages]]. The languages in this family include Perl 5 and Perl 6.<br /> <br /> Perl provides powerful text processing facilities without the arbitrary data-length limits of many contemporary [[Unix]] commandline tools, facilitating easy manipulation of [[Text file|text files].<br /> <br /> Perl 5 gained widespread popularity in the late 1990s as a [[Common Gateway Interface|CGI]] scripting language, in part due to its [[regular expression]] and [[string]] [[parsing]] abilities.<br /> <br /> In addition to CGI, Perl 5 is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.<br /> <br /> It has been nicknamed &quot;the Swiss Army chainsaw of scripting languages&quot; because of its flexibility and power, and possibly also because of its &quot;ugliness&quot;.<br /> <br /> In 1998, it was also referred to as the &quot;duct tape that holds the Internet together&quot;, in reference to both its ubiquitous use as a glue language and its perceived inelegance.<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> <br /> * [https://www.perl.org/ Official website]<br /> * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl Perl] @ Wikipedia</div>
