What is Perl?

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language with over 22 years of development.

The Perl languages borrow features from other programming languages including C, shell scripting (sh), AWK, and sed. They provide powerful text processing facilities without the arbitrary data-length limits of many contemporary Unix command-line tools, facilitating easy manipulation of text files.
