PERL - Practical Extraction and Report Language

This is a scripting language that can accomplish all kinds of neat things. The official website is http://www.perl.com.

Before you go ahead a write a new program in Perl, checkout the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network. Hundreds of modules are freely available for Perl to integrate with different APIs, and very rarely would you need to develop a new one. The CPAN Frequently Asked Questions contains quick answers to many general questions about modules.
