Perl Online Compiler

Perl is a general-purpose, dynamic programming language developed by Larry Wall. It derives its features from other languages like C, AWK, sh, and sed. Due o its flexibility and power, it is used in network programming, system administration, finance, bioinformatics, and GUIs. Being an immensely expressive language, its source code for a particular algorithm can be short and highly compressible.

The main usage of Perl programming language is seen in writing CGI scripts. Large projects like cPanel, Bugzilla, Slash, and TWiki use Perl. It is also extensively used as a system programming language in Debian Linux. Programmers use Perl to glue the systems and interfaces that are not designed to be compatible with each other. Above all, Perl is an all-purpose language for sysadmins.

Popular websites that use Perl language include perl.org, creativecommons.org, congress.gov, imdb.com, craiglist.org, duckduckgo.com, and slashdot.org.
