Perl

Perl is a highly capable, feature-rich programming language with over 30 years of development. It is popular for text processing, system administration, web development, and more.

LiveCodes runs Perl in the browser using Perlito5, a Perl to JavaScript compiler. Perl code is compiled to JavaScript and executed in the browser.

  template="perl"></live-codes>

<script type="module">

JavaScript Interoperability

Perl code can interact with JavaScript using JS::inline() to execute JavaScript expressions and access the DOM:

use strict;
my $name = "Perl";
JS::inline('document.body.innerHTML') = "Hello, $name";
