> Can develop a program in PERL for GNU/Linux without using BASH? Yes. But developing a script requires an editor of some sort. Most often that will be launched from bash (or other shell), although I can imagine strange scenarios where it is not.
Executing a perl script definitely does not require bash, but it would be a common starting point. > What is the difference between PERL and BASH? That is a very open question! Both are used to execute “scripts”, but the script content is different. I would offer this subjective difference: * Perl manages a broad range of datatypes and can be more object-oriented. The library, in general, executes efficiently within the same process as the caller of the library. * Bash tends to focus on managing the order of execution of other programs, and their input/output streams. It doesn’t have a vast “same process” library, and it has less datatypes. It isn’t object oriented. Cheers, Claude.
