1. Short for Practical Extraction and Reporting Language, Perl is an interpreted programming language first developed by Larry Wall in 1987 that is similar to the C language. Perl is one of the more commonly used languages in writing CGI scripts and programming for Internet and web page applications. Below is an example of a Perl script that prints "Hello World!".
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Hello World!\n";

Files that include Perl code on a web server may have any type of file extension; however, they commonly end in .CGI, .PL, or .PLX. Perl is a free and open source programming language available for numerous different operating systems. If you're running a Linux distro, often Perl will already be installed on the computer. However, users running MacOS or Windows will need to download and install. We recommend users try the free download for
