Perl

Perl is a powerful, feature-rich programming language that has been in use for over 25 years. Perl is ideal for both quick prototyping and large-scale development projects, and it operates on over 100 systems ranging from portables to mainframes.

Perl is also a name for high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages. Perl and Raku are examples of languages in this family (formerly known as Perl 6). Please use the tag raku for Raku-related inquiries. Tag regex or a more specific tag, such as tag pcre, should be used for "Perl-style" regular expressions in other languages, commonly based on the PCRE library.
