   plattformunabhängige Programmiersprachfamilie

   • “„Perl [pɝːl] ist eine freie, plattformunabhängige und interpretierte Programmiersprache (Skriptsprache), die mehrere Programmierparadigmen unterstützt.“”
   • “„Der Name Perl bezieht sich auf ein Zitat aus dem Matthäus-Evangelium (Mt 13,46 EU), in dem Jesus das Himmelreich mit dem Bild eines Händlers beschreibt, der seinen gesamten Besitz verkaufen will, um eine kostbare Perle zu erwerben. Noch vor der Veröffentlichung wurde der Name von „Pearl“ in „Perl“ geändert, da es bereits eine Programmiersprache namens PEARL gab.“”
   • “„Perl is a family of high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages. The languages in this family include Perl 5 and Perl 6.“”
   • “„In addition to CGI, Perl 5 is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications. It has been humorously nicknamed "the Swiss Army chainsaw of scripting languages" because of its flexibility and power, and possibly also because of its "ugliness". In 1998, it was also referred to as the "duct tape that holds the Internet together", in reference to both its ubiquitous use as a glue language and its perceived inelegance.“”
   • “„Perl was originally named "Pearl". […] The name is occasionally expanded as Practical Extraction and Report Language, but this is a backronym. Other expansions have been suggested as equally canonical, including Wall's own humorous Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister. Indeed, Wall claims that the name was intended to inspire many different expansions.“”
   • “„It is often said that "Only perl can parse Perl", meaning that only the Perl interpreter (perl) can parse the Perl language (Perl), but even this is not, in general, true.“”
