Perl is an interpreted programming language created by Larry Wall in 1987. It's a general purpouse language often used by system administrators. It has a lot of libraries (note the CPAN archive) for a lot of tasks. Libraries for OpenGL and bindings for SDL exist. A lot of modern languages borrow their regular expressions syntax from Perl.
