Fedora Core 4: FEDORA-2006-146 Moderate: Perl Update 5.8.6-24

Perl is a high-level programming language with roots in C, sed, awk

and shell scripting. Perl is good at handling processes and files,

and is especially good at handling text. Perl's hallmarks are

practicality and efficiency. While it is used to do a lot of

different things, Perl's most common applications are system

administration utilities and web programming. A large proportion of

the CGI scripts on the web are written in Perl. You need the perl

package installed on your system so that your system can handle Perl

scripts.

Install this package if you want to program in Perl or enable your

system to handle Perl scripts.
