[http://www.perl.org Perl] is a free programming language which is interpreted and has acquired a vast library of contributed packages over the 25+ years of its existence. Its strengths are manipulating strings, database access and its portability ([http://www.cio.com/article/175450/You_Used_Perl_to_Write_WHAT_ according to this article]). Its weaknesses are its poor performance and the ease with which one can write obscure and illegible code. By design, Perl offers several different ways of accomplishing the same task. Many programmers have adopted this language and write code that is very compact but difficult to decipher. | [http://www.perl.org Perl] is a free programming language which is interpreted and has acquired a vast library of contributed packages over the 25+ years of its existence.
