Is PERL a programming language?
I need a small and simple clarification...
Can someone tell me whether PERL is a programming language or not. Also, can shell scripts also considered as programming language or not. Also, please tell me the exact difference between programming language and scripting. Please help.... |

PERL is a scripting Language , but also considered as a programming language , generally programming language has strong type and scripting language has weak typing in their variables,
Scripting languages are used for solving a small problem in a faster way , now a days it solves the high level problem too ( like programming language ) so difference is vanished , but it can be identified with its typing. |
