perl-lite: perl (Practical Extraction and Report Language) perl-lite: perl-lite: Larry Wall's "Practical Extraction and Report Language". Perl is a perl-lite: language optimized for scanning arbitrary text files, extracting perl-lite: information from those text files, and printing reports based on that perl-lite: information. It's also a good language for many system management perl-lite: tasks. The language is intended to be practical (easy to use, perl-lite: efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny, elegant, minimal). perl-lite: This package (perl-lite) contains a drastically reduced installation perl-lite: which is still useful for basic perl functionality. perl-lite: Packaged by src2pkg
