Perl
Programming Languages
Perl is a high-level, general-purpose programming language created by Larry Wall in 1987, known for its powerful text-processing capabilities and extensive use of regular expressions. It has historically been popular for system administration, web CGI scripting, and bioinformatics due to its flexibility and the vast CPAN library ecosystem. Though its popularity has declined relative to Python, it remains in use for legacy systems and specialized scripting tasks.
