Inventory: script language in Linux

We may not be very clear about the scripting language in Linux. This time we will check the scripting language in Linux.

Perl is a programming language designed by Larry Wall and constantly updated and maintained by him.

Perl has the power and flexibility of advanced languages (such as C. In fact, you will see that many of its features are borrowed from the C language.

Like a scripting language, Perl does not require compilers and connectors to run code. All you need to do is write a program and tell Perl to run it. This means Perl is ideal for rapid solutions to small programming problems and for creating prototypes for large events to test potential solutions.

Perl provides all the functions of the scripting language (such as sed and awk) and has many features that they do not have. Perl also supports translator from sed to Perl and from awk to Perl.

In short, Perl is as powerful as C and as convenient as script descriptive languages such as awk and sed.

Perl is a free open-source software. You don't have to worry about the cost when using Perl. Perl runs in most operating systems and can be easily migrated to different operating systems.

Perl is a language that can complete tasks. From the very beginning, Perl was designed to simplify simple work without losing the ability to handle difficult problems. It can easily operate numbers, text, files and directories, computers and networks, especially program languages. This language should easily run external programs and scan the output of these programs to get things of interest. In addition, it should be easy to hand over the things you are interested in to other programs for special processing. Of course, this language should also be easily compiled and run on any modern operating system.

Python is a programming language and its name comes from a comedy. Perhaps the people who initially designed the Python language did not expect that today Python will be so widely used in industry and scientific research.

Python features simple, easy to learn, free, open-source, high-level language, portability, explanatory, object-oriented, scalable, embedded, and rich libraries. In summary, Python is indeed a wonderful and powerful language. It combines high performance with features that make programming simple and interesting.
