add Perl #8

Closed chucker closed 8 months ago

chucker commented 8 months ago

Now that I have your attention:

Progle says "known for building" general, web. I'm not really sure what "general" means. I've added it here, but I'm inclined to think we should kick that out.
Progle gives paradigms "object oriented, scripting, procedural, generic, functional". So they set both OOP and procedural. I've decided against this. I'm also unsure what "generic" means here, and I've left out "functional".

I think "generic" means the language supports generic type parameters.

From Wikipedia:

Generic programming is a style of computer programming in which algorithms are written in terms of data types to-be-specified-later that are then instantiated when needed for specific types provided as parameters.

Yeah, but Perl is weakly- and dynamically-typed, so it probably doesn't apply.
