Perl

Is Perl a front-end or back-end programming language?

The question is about Perl .

Answer:
Perl is a back-end programming language historically used for web development via CGI, system administration scripting, text processing, and bioinformatics. Perl has no native role in front-end web development. By 2026, Perl is in long-term decline for new web projects, largely replaced by Python for scripting and data processing. Perl continues to be actively used in legacy systems, bioinformatics pipelines, and large enterprise environments that have not yet migrated to modern languages.
