 Perl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Perl is a dynamic language and has a complex grammar that cannot be parsed by a straight Lex/Yacc lexer/parser combination.
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 is not efficient at processor-bound tasks, and Perl data structures generally use more memory than comparable data structures in languages like C and C++.

Perl, perhaps more than any other computer language, is full of alternative ways to do the same thing; we tend to show only one or two.
