Overview:

Practical Extraction and Report Language (Perl) was created by Larry Wall in 1987 for use on Unix systems to process email. It borrowed and merged components from various Unix programs and utilities. It quickly became the language of choice for Unix system operators and grew into the most popular server-side programming language for development of CGI (Common Gateway Interface) scripts on Unix-based Internet servers.

Perl is no longer limited to the Unix operating system. The latest version, Perl 5, can run on almost any platform and operating system and harmonizes many of the platform- or OS-specific functions of older versions. Perl is object-oriented and incorporates well-tested and extensive libraries of tools and functions. Perl handles text-oriented functions very well which makes it one of the most useful tools for development of dynamic webpages and for database applications.
