Perl
Definition Of Perl:
A type of programming language commonly used in the creation of CGI driven programs and applications.
Perl has the capability of handling a variety of administrator tasks such as determining when a webpage should be updated and controlling how an application should process information. When Perl was first introduced in 1987 by Larry Wall, the programming language's main purpose was to manipulate text, but since that time the language has grown tremendously.
