Explain perl...

Answer / Ashu Goel

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose programming language originally developed by Larry Wall in 1994. It stands for Practical Extraction and Report Language but has since evolved to be more than just an extraction tool. Perl is known for its flexibility, scalability, and versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of applications from system administration to web development, including CGI scripting.
