Package %{scl_name} provides Perl programming language delivered as a Software
f523ca
Collection. For more information about Software Collections,
f523ca
see the scl(1) man page. By installing the %{scl_name} collection,
f523ca
you will get the minimum working set of packages to have a working Perl
f523ca
programming language.

Usage: scl enable %{scl} 'perl'

f523ca
Software Collections allow you to build and execute applications
f523ca
which are not located in the filesystem root hierarchy,
f523ca
but are stored in an alternative location, which is %{_scl_root}
f523ca
in case of the %{scl_name} collection.

f523ca
Perl is a high-level programming language with roots in C, sed, awk and shell
f523ca
scripting. Perl is good at handling processes and files, and is especially
f523ca
good at handling text. Perl's hallmarks are practicality and efficiency.
f523ca
While it is used to do a lot of different things, Perl's most common
f523ca
applications are system administration utilities and web programming. A large
f523ca
proportion of the CGI scripts on the web are written in Perl.
