Description-en: Larry Wall's Practical Extraction and Report Language
Perl is a highly capable, feature-rich programming language with over
20 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from
portables to mainframes. Perl is suitable for both rapid prototyping
and large scale development projects.
