Perl interpreter, or perl is a open-source software running on multiple platforms, that parses and executes the scripts written in the Perl script-language.
Overview
perl (the initial p shouldn't be capitalized) is the standard parser that parses the Perl language. It is usually referred to when you read a Perl script on a Unix-like platform, and the first line is usually like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
Aside from the virtue that it is able to parse the complicatedly interwined, hugely syntactically redundent language Perl, the perl program also handles other routine jobs as a script Running Environment, such as Memory management, Dynamic linking and Flow Control. And it does the job nicely that these are virtually transparent to the programmers and users of the Perl language.
