Perl Scripting
Determine precisely why Perl is the go-to scripting language for plenty of programmers.
Perl is a well-liked scripting language that is regarded as being one of the most useful languages on the Internet. It is feature-rich and it is used to create a number of web-based applications and CGI scripts. What distinguishes Perl from most of the alternative languages on the internet is the compatibility with modules - groups of commands for a specific task that can be integrated into a script by calling them i.e. you are able to write only one line within your script to get a whole module executed, rather than having the entire program code that is already a part of the module anyway. Since Perl supports various other languages and it comes with a lot of options based on what a given app can do, it is used by numerous renowned companies - the BBC, Craigslist, The Internet Movie Database (IMDB), cPanel, etc.
