Perl was designed by Larry Wall and was constantly updated and maintained by his programming language. Perl has the power and flexibility of high-level languages such as C. In fact, you will see that many of its features are borrowed from the C language. Like scripting languages, Perl does not need compilers and linker to run code, all you have to do is write the program and tell Perl to run it. This means Perl is ideal for fast solutions to small programming problems and for creating prototypes for large events to test potential solutions.
Perl provides all the functionality of scripting languages such as SED and awk, as well as many features they do not have. Perl also supports SED to Perl and awk to Perl translators. In short, Perl is as powerful as C, as handy as scripting languages like awk and sed.
