CGI/Perl Enhancements

Perl is an interpreted language that was designed to scan text files, extract information from those text files, and display text-based reports using that information. Perl's recent popularity has been fed most by Common Gateway Interface (CGI) Programming, which you use to perform Web-based client/server operations.
