Perl

Johan Vromans


It is one of my firm beliefs that it requires good tools to do a good job. For me, Perl is the perfect tool for almost every job that involves automatic maintenance of computer systems and data files.

It is an almost religious matter if you want to use a collection of small tools to be embedded (called from) inside other tools, or a big tool that incorporates all other functionality. I have chosen for the latter approach, hence Perl.

Lots of people are actively maintaining Perl which makes it a very stable, reliable and evolving tool. Several books are written on the Perl programming language that can help understanding and using Perl.

I contributed the Perl Quick Reference.

Perl is available on most platforms, including GNU/Linux, Unix, VMS and Windows. For more information, visit Stichting Perl Promotie Nederland.
