Perl is a scripting language that attempts to combine the perceived convenince of bash with the power of awk.
It is known for its powerful handling of regular expressions, and its philosophy of 'more than one way to do it'.
Some have criticised it for its very flexibility, pointing out that it is too easy to write code that is unreadable and does not do what one would expect.
