Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications but remains most popular as a scripting tool for web applications. The OS/2 implementation of Perl 5 has a rather neat module called OS2:REXX that allows you to call DLLs that follow the REXX calling convention enabling Perl users to use any REXX extensions in their programs.
