In the words of its author, Larry Wall, Perl is a language for "getting your job done". Perl is used for System Administration, CGI scripts, data transformations, genetic sequence analysis, and more. With vast access to the Mac OS API, it is a powerful Mac OS prototyping tool. With its powerful file and text manipulation, it is indispensible as a general system utility, on any platform.
