What Is Perl?

sky
I have been looking high and low for a good domain service, and most places I have checked have Perl as a feature (including this one). What is Perl? It is included in the same info space that stuff like cPanel is put. But most importantly, how can Perl help me? If it can't, why do they advertise the ability to use it everywhere?

Perl is a you beaut scripting language. Used for developing web applications and delivering dynamic content to web sites. It can be used as a CGI-Script. I've heard that it is prefered to other scripting languages because it's faster. There are some good perl tutorial sites on the net ... just google 'learn perl'.

To compile perl you'll need to have it installed on your machine. If you not creating code, just using the scripts, then bang it into your website and hang on.

cheers

PERL Stands for
Practical Extraction and Reporting Language

Its a Powerfull Scripting Language ment for Server Side Scripting.
Other Serer Side language are like PHP,JSP,ASP and Many more.

Scripting means you can embedd the Scripting tags in an HTML page.

Any more

And now i will come to your CPanel doubt.

When you create your domain, u need to modify, configure your domain setting, along with you may need to set MySql database, Email Support, Upload you files, and Watch your bandwidth consumption, In order to do these Things you need one Interface to control and manage all these things, With alone FTP You can't do it. The Interface to controll is known as ControlPanel, There are Many ControlPanels are there ,Most Important are

1)Plesk
2)CPanel

Here at astahost they are providing the Cpanel.

Any thing Else, post ur question

I actually think Perl is quite slow and is very hard to learn as it has a strange syntax that is similar to no other scripting or programming languages.
If you know and are familar with PHP, ASP, etc. I suggest you don't learn Perl as you'll find it very hard to catch on.
That's what happened to me sad.gif .

Perl SLOW??Are you Joking?and it's NOT hard...sometimes you need to create a function because in the core package are not a lot....but with CPAN support and some extra work is better than php if you have to do local APPS, for Example, With php a IRC_BNC or Bot is very slow and the apache(or IIS) proc is to charged and the CPU load arrive near 20% only for a bot, that are to refresh every second......with perl , you have an singolar proc that produce a sys load of 2-3%......but if you have to create site I agree with you..but the main purpose of the perl is the local apps and the strings manipulation wink.gif

Where can I learn more pearl? I knew a few bits and bobs when I started learning it earlier but I never got round to finishing it as I had to send my pc off and the domain didn't get stored in the memory. Thankyou in advance.

for tutorials try at perl's main site or look around in the orielly e-book.

perl has it's own purpose, but coz of the speed of php. it takes advantage over perl/cgi.

i'm now joining a bot development team, the bot is made with perl. yeah it's dumb, and slightly slower than a compiled program. but program is amazing tongue.gif
