Schwartz is an influential member of the F / OSS community, and has been named a " Perl Expert " and interviewed by numerous outlets-to discuss his views on Perl, Ruby, Smalltalk and other topics-including Dr. Dobbs Journal, Paul dot Com Security TV, The Command Line, PerlCast, FLOSS Weekly, ONLamp. com, and InfoQ.

Parrot was started by the Perl community and is developed with help from the open source and free software communities.

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.

PerlMonks is a community website covering all aspects of Perl programming and other related topics such as web applications and system administration.

Perl 5's documentation is regarded as excellent, even outside of the Perl community where even mixed reviews typically note its maturity and breadth.

However, the algorithm was already in use in other languages ( under no specific name ) before it was popularized among the Perl community in the form of that particular idiom by Schwartz.

Over time there was increasing development of Annodex technology from the open-source community, starting with Debian packages by Jamie Wilkinson, Python bindings by Ben Leslie, and Perl bindings by Angus Lees.

Request Tracker, commonly abbreviated to RT, is a ticket-tracking system written in Perl used to coordinate tasks and manage requests among a community of users.

Like many programming languages, Perl has mechanisms to use external libraries of code, making one file contain common routines used by several programs.

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.

For example, the imperative Perl programming language has been the subject of a book describing how to apply functional programming concepts.

Wall's Christian faith has influenced some of the terminology of Perl, such as the name itself, a biblical reference to the " pearl of great price " ( Matthew 13: 46 ).

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.

This misconception has led to claims that comment-extraction tools, such as the Perl Plain Old Documentation system, are " literate programming tools ".

* Python has the same structure as Perl, but unlike Perl includes it in the syntax of the language.

It also has a dynamic type system and automatic memory management ; it is therefore similar in varying respects to Smalltalk, Python, Perl, Lisp, Dylan, Pike, and CLU.

Matsumoto has said, " I wanted a scripting language that was more powerful than Perl, and more object-oriented than Python.

The SDL library has language bindings for many programming languages, from the popular ( C, C ++, Pascal, Perl, Python ( via Pygame ), etc.

In recent years its use has faded as newer languages such as AWK and Perl have made string manipulation by means of regular expressions fashionable.

Schwartz is the co-author of several widely used books about Perl, a programming language, and has written regular columns about Perl for several computer magazines, including UNIX Review, Web Techniques, and the Perl Journal.

Jackson's aim was to make COBOL batch file processing programs easier to modify and maintain, but the method can be used to design programs for any programming language that has structured control constructs, languages such as C, Java and Perl.

DB2 has APIs for REXX, PL / I, COBOL, RPG, FORTRAN, C ++, C, Delphi,. NET CLI, Java, Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby, and many other programming languages.

It has object-oriented features such as inheritance and polymorphism as found in languages such as Python and Perl.

Perl regular expressions are much more powerful than POSIX and other common regular expressions, and PCRE has become popular in applications other than Exim.

Spencer's library has been used in many software packages, including Tcl, and adapted for others, including early versions of Perl.

In 1997, Philip Hazel replaced Exim's POSIX regular expression library written by Henry Spencer with a new library he developed called PCRE ( Perl Compatible Regular Expressions ).

The original Frozen Bubble was written in Perl by Guillaume Cottenceau, and uses the Simple DirectMedia Layer ( SDL ) library.

In addition to PHP, the library can also be used in the programming languages C ++, Perl, Python, and Ruby.

He made significant contributions to other open source software projects including FlightGear, a cross-platform flight simulator making use of XML, the NewsML Toolkit library for NewsML, the XMLWriter libraries for Perl and Java, RDF Filter, and SGMLSpm, a mid-1990s precursor to many XML functionalities.

* Convert :: TNEF -- TNEF library written in Perl

* Perl modules providing client support for HTTP pipelining are HTTP :: Async and the LWPng ( libwww-perl New Generation ) library.

* Complete and comprehensive Perl library that allows you to completely control Monotone from a Perl script ( mtn-browse makes use of this )

Perl Compatible Regular Expressions ( PCRE ) is a regular expression C library inspired by Perl's external interface, written by Philip Hazel.

Since MGSI is a web service protocol, any programming language that has a SOAP or XML-RPC library available can be used to interface with it, although commonly C ++, Java, Perl, and PHP are used.

Graphics are generated using a suite of custom Perl modules based on GD, the standard Perl graphics display library.

The Perl Object Environment or POE is a library of Perl modules written in the Perl programming language by Rocco Caputo et al.

$ length (), $ name (), $ justify (), $ order (), $ piece (), and $ test as well as vector and matrix operations, Boyer – Moore – Gosper string search algorithm functions, a Smith – Waterman algorithm function, relational algebra operations and access to the Perl Compatible Regular Expression library ( PCRE ).

New distributions are uploaded to the Perl Authors Upload Server, or PAUSE ( see the section Uploading distributions with PAUSE ).

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

There are also other distributions, like ActivePerl, the Perl programming language for various operating system, and Cygwin distributions of open-source programs for Microsoft Windows.

For example, one can add support for Perl and Python scripting to Windows by installing the ActiveState Active Scripting engines which are included in the ActivePerl and ActivePython distributions.
