'''Perl interpreter''', or '''perl''' is an open-source software running on multiple platforms, that parses and executes the scripts written in the [[Perl]] script-language. |
|||
==Overview== |
|||
'''perl''' (the initial '''p''' should not 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: |
|||
<pre> |
|||
#!/usr/bin/perl |
|||
</pre> |
|||
Aside from the virtue that it is able to parse the complicatedly intertwined, hugely syntactically redundant 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 so that these are virtually transparent to the programmers and users of the Perl language. |
