 Perl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Perl is often used as a glue language, tying together systems and interfaces that were not specifically designed to interoperate, and for "data munging", converting or processing large amounts of data for tasks like creating reports.
Perl is implemented as a core interpreter, written in C, together with a large collection of modules, written in Perl and C. The source distribution is, as of 2005, 12 MB when packaged in a tar file and compressed.
Perl developers rely on the functional tests to ensure that changes to the interpreter do not introduce bugs; conversely, Perl users who see the interpreter pass its functional tests on their system can have a high degree of confidence that it is working properly.

 Programming Perl
But while Wall intends Perl to be useful, he does not intend it to replace other programming languages that are also useful for solving certain types of problems.
In fact, Wall says, ``The Perl slogan is, `There is more than one way to do it.' People have often taken that to mean that there is more than one way to do it within Perl.
Or perhaps it is what he refers to in Programming Perl as the ``three great virtues of a programmer: laziness, impatience, and hubris.'' But Wall says there are three things that have motivated him to invest the enormous amount of time and effort necessary to keep improving Perl.
