Among the large array of applications, and modules we also support Perl.
What is Perl?
Perl is an acronym for "Practical Extraction and Report Language" and it started out as a scripting language to supplement the ubiquitous USENET reader.
It is an interpreted language that is optimized for string manipulation, I/O, and system tasks. It has built ins for almost everything that's in section 2 of the UNIX manuals, which makes it very popular with system administrators. It incorporates syntax elements from the Bourne shell, csh, awk, sed, grep, and C.
Perl has gained recent attention in the explosion of the World Wide Web as a quick and effective way to mock up applications that provide much of the web's interactivity. It has a lot of syntax that can make scripts contain more characters from the top row of the keyboard than any other, but that is not necessary to get anything done. In fact, there are few of the traditional limitations that interpreted languages impose.
