Need information on different version of perl

[Romany]

I want to learn perl for process which is going to run in my company soon. I am a programmer but basically my platform normally lies on C programming or other languages. But now perl is need to learn. I need information on different version of perl and improvement made no them. Second thing also I need a small overview of the perl language implementation.

Perl is a high-level programming language and a transmitter of thousands. It obtains from the omnipresent C programming language and to a lesser scope from sed, awk, the Unix shell, and at least a different other tools and languages. Perl's procedure, file, and text manipulation conveniences make it predominantly well-suited for tasks involving quick prototyping, system utilities, software tools, system management tasks, database access, graphical programming, networking, and world wide web programming.

The perl is particularly accepted with system administrators and CGI script authors, but mathematicians, geneticists, journalists, and even administrators also use Perl. Maybe you be supposed to, the core, the standard Perl library, the elective or voluntary modules, and the certification you are reading now were all written by unpaid assistants. See the personal note at the end of the Readme file in the perl source allocation for additional details.

There is frequently a matter of attitude and taste, and there is not any one answer that fits everyone. In common, you desire to use either the present stable release, or the stable release instantaneously prior to that one. Presently, those are perl5.10.x and perl5.8.x, correspondingly. Beyond that, you have to judge on various things and select which is better for you.

[Zecho]

The latest versions and description of perl have additional bug fixes. The Perl group of people is geared toward sustaining and maintaining the most current releases, so you will have an easier time finding help for those. Descriptions prior to perl5.004 had serious sanctuary problems with buffer overflows, and in some cases have CERT advisories help. The latest versions and description are possibly the least deployed and widely tested.
