Package: perl
Version: 5.10.1-17squeeze3
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
The current description of Perl in the Debian perl package doesn't
well represent what Perl is about these days. Improved descriptions
have been bouncing around in the Perl community, may I suggest one
written by Chris Nehren? Here is a better description:
Perl is a highly capable, feature-rich programming language with over
20 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from
portables to mainframes. Perl is suitable for both rapid prototyping
and large scale development projects.
Perl 5 supports many programming styles, including procedural,
functional, and object-oriented. In addition to this, it is supported
by an ever-growing collection of reusable modules which accelerate
development. Some of these modules include Web frameworks, database
integration, networking protocols, and encryption. Perl provides
interfaces to C and C++ for custom extension development.
