{{Programming Language}}'''Perl''' is a language that takes the best from other programming languages such as [[BASIC]], [[Lisp]], [[C]] and the Unix tools [[sed]], [[AWK]] and [[UNIX Shell]]. It is particularly suited for Unix systems programming, text processing and gluing heterogenous programs together. Its interpreter is called perl. Perl has seen five major revisions, and a sixth is currently worked on.
