Overview: Perl is the premier scripting language for the Web, but it isn't the easiest to learn. This download will get you started down the road to Perl mastery.

Perl, the Practical Extraction and Reporting Language, is one of the dominant scripting languages for the World Wide Web. It is also a language every application developer and Web designer should be familiar with because at some point one of your projects is likely going to interact with a Perl script. Perl is different enough from other languages that even the most seasoned application developer will need to some foundation-level education on its quirks. This download will teach you the basics regarding Perl syntax, strengths, weaknesses, and best uses. You'll also learn how to perform some common programming tasks using Perl.
