1 definition found From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]: Perl /perl/, n. [Practical Extraction and Report Language, a.k.a. Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister] An interpreted language developed by Larry Wall, author of patch(1) and rn(1)). Superficially resembles awk, but is much hairier, including many facilities reminiscent of sed(1) and shells and a comprehensive Unix system-call interface. Unix sysadmins, who are almost always incorrigible hackers, generally consider it one of the {languages of choice}, and it is by far the most widely used tool for making ?live? web pages via CGI. Perl has been described, in a parody of a famous remark about lex(1), as the Swiss-Army chainsaw of Unix programming. Though Perl is very useful, it would be a stretch to describe it as pretty or {elegant }; people who like clean, spare design generally prefer Python. See also Camel Book, TMTOWTDI.
