The difference between Python and Perl

Python programs are easier, clearer, and easier to write than Perl, making them easier to understand and maintain. I do like Perl, too, and use it to do a lot of everyday things. But when I write a program, I always think of using Python, which has become quite natural for me. Perl has undergone several major revisions and changes, and unfortunately the upcoming Perl 6 doesn't seem to be making any improvements in this area.

I feel that Perl's only and very important advantage is its huge CPAN library, the Integrated Perl Archive network. As the name implies, this is a huge set of Perl modules that are incredibly large-you can do almost anything on your computer with these modules. One of the reasons Perl has more modules than Python is that Perl has a much longer history. Maybe I'll recommend porting the Perl module to Python on the Comp.lang.python.

Perl:

1, from the evolution of C/sed/awk/shell, the application of text processing, system management, not suitable for operating system views, multithreaded programming.

2, powerful regular matching function, complex and flexible data structure, natural language, self-energy language

Python:

1, Python program will be more simple, clearer, easier to write, which is more understandable and easy to maintain.
