    "description": "Perl is a high-level, interpreted, dynamically-typed scripting language\nrenowned for its powerful regular expression engine and text processing\ncapabilities. Perl 5 is widely used in system administration, bioinformatics\npipelines, CGI web scripting, and legacy enterprise applications.\n\nCPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) provides one of the largest\ncollections of reusable modules in any language ecosystem. Moose and Moo\nprovide modern OOP layers on top of Perl's flexible object system. Perl\n6 was reimagined as Raku, a separate language. Despite declining\npopularity, Perl remains deeply embedded in genomics tooling (BioPerl),\nnetwork automation, and long-lived IT operations scripts.\n"
