15 Perl is a general-purpose programming language originally developed
16 for text manipulation and now used for a wide range of tasks including
17 system administration, web development, network programming, GUI
18 development, and more. The language is intended to be practical (easy
19 to use, efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny, elegant,
20 minimal). Its major features are that it's easy to use, supports both
21 procedural and object-oriented (OO) programming, has powerful built-in
22 support for text processing, and has one of the world's most impressive
23 collections of third-party modules."
