It derives from the +ubiquitous C programming language and to a lesser extent from sed, awk, +the Unix shell, and at least a dozen other tools and languages. Perl's +process, file, and text manipulation facilities make it particularly +well-suited for tasks involving quick prototyping, system utilities, +software tools, system management tasks, database access, graphical +programming, networking, and world wide web programming. These strengths +make it especially popular with system administrators and CGI script +authors, but mathematicians, geneticists, journalists, and even managers +also use Perl. Maybe you should, too. + +This package is contains the Perl DynaLoader built as relocatable shared +object. |
