Perl

Perl is a high-level, dynamic programming language that was first released in 1987. Known for its powerful text processing capabilities and flexibility, Perl has been a staple in the programming world for decades. Despite the rise of newer languages, many legacy systems still rely on Perl, and that’s where we come in.

At Durable Programming, we specialize in maintaining and optimizing legacy Perl applications. Whether you need to fix bugs, improve performance, or add new features, our experienced team is here to help.

Perl’s motto is “There’s More Than One Way To Do It” (TMTOWTDI), which reflects its design philosophy of providing programmers with flexibility and multiple approaches to solve problems. This flexibility, however, can sometimes lead to code that is difficult to maintain, especially as projects age and original developers move on.

Our team has extensive experience working with Perl codebases of all sizes and complexities. We can help you:

• Refactor and modernize your Perl code for better maintainability
• Optimize performance bottlenecks
• Integrate with modern libraries and frameworks
• Upgrade to newer versions of Perl
• Implement best practices for testing and documentation

One of the strengths of Perl is its vast ecosystem of modules available through CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network). With over 200,000 modules, CPAN provides solutions for almost any task imaginable. We have deep knowledge of the Perl ecosystem and can help you leverage the right modules to extend your application’s functionality and solve complex problems.

At Durable Programming, we believe that legacy systems are not a burden, but an opportunity. With the right expertise and approach, your Perl applications can continue to deliver value for years to come.
