History
Development on Perl began in 1987, while Larry Wall was a programmer at Unisys. Perl grew rapidly after its initial release. The original name of this programming language was "pearl", but because there is another language with this same name, the language was then changed to "Perl".Features
The syntax of Perl is almost syntactically the same as C, and like C is a procedural programming language. One of the requirements that must be made though is, you must have the Perl executable and a script file in order to run the program. Perl also features many built-in functions which make it useful for shell programming. Perl also does automatic data typing and memory management.-
