** CGI. pm, a Perl module for implementing Common Gateway Interface programs

Finally, the natural hierarchy of Perl module names ( such as " Apache :: DBI " or " Lingua :: EN :: Inflect ") can sometimes be used to browse modules in the CPAN.

There is also a Perl core module named CPAN ; it's usually differentiated from the repository itself by calling it CPAN. pm.

The CPAN has grown so large and comprehensive over the years that many people learning Perl seem to elevate it to a sort of mythical status, and express surprise when they begin to encounter topics for which a CPAN module doesn't exist already.

* Parse :: Earley A Perl module that implements Jay Earley's original algorithm.

xYzZY is used as the default boundary marker by the Perl HTTP :: Message module for multipart MIME messages, and was used in Apple's AtEase for workgroups as the default administrator password in the 1990s.

* Text :: Metaphone Perl module from CPAN

* Text :: DoubleMetaphone Perl module from CPAN

* Damian Conway's Class :: Contract Perl module from CPAN

* Raphael Manfredi's Carp :: Datum Perl module from CPAN

*, a Perl module that claims to generate actual random numbers from interrupt timing discrepancies.

The module is a lightweight, low dependency Pure Perl module for UUID creation and testing.

* Text :: Capitalize, a Perl module for English capitalization

** Lingua :: EN :: NameCase, a Perl module for Western European name capitalization

The system uses the Perl language with a database interface module for processing and PostgreSQL for data storage.

* Perl module, a discrete component of software for the Perl programming language.

* Many access methods: native / API, dbExpress drivers, ODBC, OLEDB,. Net provider, JDBC native type 4 driver, Python module, PHP, Perl

* Math :: Random :: ISAAC, a Perl module implementation of the algorithm

The latest DBI module for Perl from CPAN can run on a range of operating systems.

In collaboration with others, Tim Bunce began specifying DBI in 1992. the Perl community maintains DBI as a CPAN module in accordance with the open source model.

* Lingua :: Rhyme :: FindScheme — Perl module to find the rhyme scheme of a given text.

* The Perl HL7 Toolkit, an Open-Source HL7 Perl module

Wall has also alluded to his faith when he has spoken at conferences, including a rather straightforward statement of his beliefs at the August, 1997 Perl Conference and a discussion of Pilgrim's Progress at the YAPC ( Yet Another Perl Conference ) in June, 2000.

According to the Ruby FAQ, " If you like Perl, you will like Ruby and be right at home with its syntax.

* Tom Christiansen of Perl fame worked at Convex in the Technical Assistance Center and then on a project called Convex Meta Series, which was an attempt to create cheap cluster computers.

Other languages, such as Perl, Python and JavaScript, allow programs to create new code at run-time and execute it using an eval function, but do not allow existing code to be mutated.

The original The Learning Company was founded by Ann McCormick, Leslie Grimm, and Teri Perl, three educators who saw the Apple II as an opportunity to enhance the ability to teach young children concepts of math, reading and science, along with Warren Robinett, fresh from a stint at Atari.

Ports of other languages like BBC Basic and development of on-board interpreters for Fortran, Rexx, Awk, Perl, Unix shells ( ksh, sh, bash, csh, zsh, tcsh & c .), other shells ( DOS / Win95, OS / 2, and WinNT / 2000 shells as well as the related 4Dos, 4NT and 4OS2 as well as DCL ), Cobol, C, Python, Tcl, Pascal, Delphi, ALGOL, and other languages are at various levels of development.

Existing programs either only supported FTP ( such as NcFTP and dl ) or were written in Perl, which was not yet ubiquitous at the time.

If programs are modifiable at runtime or if incremental compilation is available ( such as in C #, Forth, Frink, Groovy, JavaScript, Lisp, Lua, Perl, PHP, Python, REBOL, Ruby, Smalltalk, and Tcl ), then techniques can be used to perform metaprogramming without actually generating source code.

* Programming / Coding / Scripting in one of the many server-side frameworks ( at least one of: Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, CFML-Coldfusion, Java, ASP,. NET,. NET MVC )

Unlike Programming Perl, this book is aimed at computer programmers new to Perl.

The following line causes the user program – ostensibly a Perl script – to be run every two hours, namely at midnight, 2am, 4am, 6am, 8am, and so on:

* domain-specific languages which are called ( at runtime ) from programs written in general purpose languages like C or Perl, to perform a specific function, often returning the results of operation to the " host " programming language for further processing ; generally, an interpreter or virtual machine for the domain-specific language is embedded into the host application

Curly braces and semi-colons at the heart-C ++, Java and Perl programmers should be comfortable, whitespace has no effect on the semantics.

In programming languages where functions are first-class objects ( such as Lua, Python, or Perl ), automatic memoization can be implemented by replacing ( at run-time ) a function with its calculated value once a value has been calculated for a given set of parameters.

This example, from the Perl programming language, demonstrates an especially serious case of action at a distance:

Certain dynamic scripting languages such as AWK, sed, and Perl have traditionally been adept at expressing one-liners.

PDL borrows from Perl at least three basic types of program structure: imperative programming, functional programming, and pipeline programming forms may be combined.

COMIT was the first string processing language ( compare SNOBOL, TRAC, and Perl ), developed on the IBM 700 / 7000 series computers by Dr. Victor Yngve and collaborators at MIT from 1957-1965.

CPAN, the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network, is an archive of over 100, 000 modules of software written in Perl, as well as documentation for it.

CPAN can denote either the archive network itself, or the Perl program that acts as an interface to the network and as an automated software installer ( somewhat like a package manager ).

CPAN is also used to distribute new versions of Perl, as well as related projects, such as Parrot.

The CPAN is an important resource for the professional Perl programmer.

With over 23, 000 modules ( containing 20, 000, 000 lines of code ) as of July 2011, the CPAN can save programmers weeks of time, and large Perl programs often make use of dozens of modules.

Several search engines have been written to help Perl programmers sort through the CPAN.

An interactive shell called < tt > cpan </ tt > is also provided in the Perl core, and is the usual way of running CPAN. pm.

Authors can upload new distributions to the CPAN through the Perl Authors Upload Server ( PAUSE ).

Experienced Perl programmers often comment that half of Perl's power is in the CPAN.

As a hive of activity in the Perl world, the CPAN both shapes and is shaped by Perl culture.

Several Perl modules available from CPAN provide serialization mechanisms, including and.

* Perl, via the CPAN modules Class :: Contract ( by Damian Conway ) or Carp :: Datum ( by Raphael Manfredi ).
