Perl
Perl, short for Practical Extraction and Reporting Language, is a high-level, general-purpose programming language created by Larry Wall in 1987. It is primarily used for text processing, system administration, web development, network programming, and bioinformatics. Developers can access Perl by downloading it from the official Perl website at Perl Downloads, which provides binaries, source code, documentation, and modules for Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms.
