Perl (Practical
Extraction and Report Language) is the scripting language of choice
by many CGI script authors because it is an easy to learn and use
language for quickly manipulating text, files, and processes. While
other languages require you to declare variables, types, and
subroutines before you get to the actual executable code (which is
probably very necessary for more complex structures), Perl allows you
to by-pass the unnecessary programming in your programs.
