    Summary: Practical Extraction and Report Language
    Description: 
    Perl is a high-level programming language with roots in C, sed, awk
    and shell scripting.  Perl is good at handling processes and files,
    and is especially good at handling text.  Perl's hallmarks are
    practicality and efficiency.  While it is used to do a lot of
    different things, Perl's most common applications (and what it excels
    at) are probably system administration utilities and web programming.
    A large proportion of the CGI scripts on the web are written in Perl.
