Slide	* PERL is an acronym which stands for Practical Extraction and Reporting Language. It is a general-purpose programming language. It was originally developed for text manipulation. Now, it is used for web development, network programming, GUI development etc It is simple and very easy to understand.
Slide	* It does not have complex data structures like C or JAVA. It is well known for pattern matching. And most importantly, PERL is an open source language.
Slide Installing PERL on Ubuntu 12.04 Operating System	PERL comes pre-loaded on Ubuntu Linux 12.04 OS. Therefore, there is no specific procedure to be followed for installation.
