#perl
Perl is a computer programming language that has been in use since 1987. It was initially developed for use on the UNIX operating system, but it has since been ported to more operating systems than just about any other programming language (with the possible exception of C).
Perl was written by Larry Wall to solve a particular problem, but instead of writing something that would just solve the question at hand, Wall wrote a general tool that he could use to solve other problems later.
