Hello, i'm interested on learning the PERL language and I do not have any idea on the installation and what really PERL does although i've made research but still confused. Is PERL for the WEB like PHP? or it is like C for creating executable applications?.. I have E-books of PERL although when I read it, it already starts on the coding and doesnt have any manual for the installation and compiling and using the PERL... any one? help? can redirect me to some useful resources? thanks

Perl is a scripting language, more akin to PHP than CWhilst you can do web stuff in perl, it is a general purpose programming language which can be used for many other applications as well.
