Though Perl is not officially an acronym, [4] there are various backronyms in use, such as: Practical Extraction and Reporting Language . [5] Perl was originally developed by Larry Wall in 1987 as a general-purpose Unix scripting language to make report processing easier. [6] Since then, it has undergone many changes and revisions. The latest major stable revision is 5.16, released in May 2012. Perl 6 is a complete redesign of the language, announced in 2000 and still under active development as of 2012 [update] . |

Perl is a high-level , general-purpose , interpreted , dynamic programming language . Perl was originally developed by Larry Wall in 1987 as a general-purpose Unix scripting language to make report processing easier. [4] Since then, it has undergone many changes and revisions and become widely popular amongst programmers. Larry Wall continues to oversee development of the core language, and its upcoming version, Perl 6 . Perl borrows features from other programming languages including C , shell scripting ( sh ), AWK , and sed . [5] The language provides powerful text processing facilities without the arbitrary data length limits of many contemporary Unix tools, [6] facilitating easy manipulation of text files . Perl gained widespread popularity in the late 1990s as a CGI scripting language, in part due to its parsing abilities. [7] |

Perl is a programming language released by Larry Wall on December 18 , 1987 that borrows features from C , sed , awk , shell scripting ( sh ), and (to a lesser extent) from many other programming languages as well. "Perl" is sometimes backronymed to Practical Extraction and Report Language or Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister — but never "PERL". The name is normally capitalized ("Perl") when referring to the language, but not capitalized ("perl") when referring to the interpreter (e.g. "Only perl properly parses Perl." ) |

Perl ( Practical Extraction and Report Language ) is a programming language created by Larry Wall in 1987 that borrows features from C , sed , awk , shell scripting ( sh ), to a lesser extent from many other programming languages as well. Though the name can be expanded as an acronym in more than one way (Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister), it is normally spelt in normal mixed case when referring to the language, or lower case when referring to the interpreter. "Only perl properly parses Perl." |

Perl ( Practical Extraction and Report Language ) is a programming language created by Larry Wall in 1987 that borrows features from C , sed , awk , and shell scripting ( sh ). Though the name originated as an acronym , it is normally spelt in normal mixed case when referring to the language, or lower case when referring to the interpreter. "Only perl properly parses Perl." Although it has most of the ease of use features of an interpreted language, it does not strictly interpret and execute the source code one line at a time. Rather, perl first compiles an entire program to an intermediate byte code (Much like Java's byte code), optimizing as it goes, and then executes that byte code. It is possible to compile a perl program to byte code to save the compilation step on later executions, though the "interpreter" is still needed to execute that code. |
