Perl Scripting
Perl is one of the most popular programming languages today. Why do many millions of developers use it?
Perl is a sought-after scripting language that is regarded as being one of the most practical languages on the web. It's feature-rich and it's used to generate various web-based applications and CGI scripts. What differentiates Perl from most of the other languages on the internet is its support for modules - sets of commands for a particular process which can be integrated into a script just by calling them i.e. you are able to write just one line within your script to have an entire module executed, rather than having the entire program code that is already included in the module anyway. Because Perl is compatible with numerous other languages and it features a lot of options based on what a particular application can do, it's used by many famous companies - the BBC, Craigslist, The Internet Movie Database (IMDB), cPanel, etcetera.
