About Perl (translation of Perl official website) _perl

Strong, stable, mature, portable Perl 5 is a 26-year-old, powerful, performance-rich programming language. Perl can run on more than 100 platforms, from portable devices to large hosts. At the same time she is also suitable for prototype design and a wide range of development projects. Perl 6 is a member of this family if Perl is a larger family than the development language, but Perl 6 is a separate language with its own development team. Her presence has little impact on the continued development of Perl 5.

Perl 5 and Web

An ideal web programming language

Perl is an ideal programming language, thanks to its powerful text processing capabilities and fast development cycles.

Web Framework

There are many web frameworks developed in Perl, the most well-known being: Catalyst.

Database integration

Perl's DBI package makes it relatively easy to integrate web-databases. Dbix::class-This class is the object mapper.

Web Module

CPAN offers thousands of modules, so let most of the tasks you want to accomplish become simpler, from URL or image processing, to Amazon EC2 application interface, and more.

Internet

Perl has long been used as an "Internet", and many large Web sites are written by Perl alone.

Encryption features

Perl can handle encrypted web data, including E-commerce processing.

Embed in Apache

Perl can be embedded in a Web server, which can increase processing speed by up to 20 times times. Mod_perl enables the Apache Web server to embed the Perl interpreter.
