Perl is a high-level programming language. All of the data types are abstracted, rather than operating on native scalars (char, int, double). All memory allocation and garbage collection is automatic. There is no direct memory addressing. All details of any underlying instruction set architecture (even of a virtual machine) are abstracted away.

Which programming language came first Perl or ASP?
Perl is the older of the two. Perl was created by Larry Wall in 1987 (ref. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl) Active Server Pages (ASP) was created by Microsoft as an add-on to their Internet Information Services (IIS) around 1996 (ref. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Server_Pages)

Who created the perl programming language?
It was invented by Larry Wall in the mid-1980's (first posted to the 'comp.sources' Usenet newsgroup in late 1987). Perl has rapidly become the language of choice for writing programs quickly and robustly across a wide range of fields - ranging from systems administration, text processing, linguistic analysis, molecular biology and (most importantly of all) the creation of dynamic World Wide Web pages. It has been estimated that about 80% of dynamic webpages worldwide are being created by Perl programs. More and more companies are realizing that setting up a glitzy Website with lots of pretty Web pages is not enough. The Web really becomes an effective tool for you and your customers when E-Commerce steps in - when your Website is linked seamlessly to your corporate information systems. A typical example of this is using the Web to take orders from customers. To provide these sort of service you need to create dynamic web pages based on Web forms and image maps, often retrieving information from relational database systems. Perl provides excellent support for creating dynamic web pages and connecting to databases.

What are some facts about Perl?
Perl is a programming language. Perl is an interpreted programming language. Perl is very useful for shell scripts, application programming, and web applications. Perl is quite easy to learn. Perl can be, but does not have to be, object-oriented. Perl was created by Larry Wall. Perl has probably the best implementation of regular expressions in existence.
Is PERL an interpreted or compiled programming language?
Perl is both compiled and interpreted language. In the traditional sense, Perl is a pure interpreted language. The reference Perl program is a prototypical two-stage interpreter: when a Perl script is invoked via #!/bin/perl (or similar), the perl interpreter performs a language parsing on the source code, creating an internal (to the perl interpreter) representation of program, which is then translated into binary code for execution. Every invocation of a perl program requires this translation/interpretation to be completed. There are several projects which can take perl source code and compile it down to a binary executable (that is, bypass the whole repeated translate/interpret phase each time). However, these are NOT complete - even the best can only manage about 95% of the perl code available. That is, these perl compiler are incomplete implementations of the Perl language. They can be very useful, but are not complete substitutes for the Perl interpreter. The real answer is that Perl was designed to be an interpreted language from the start; attempts to turn Perl into a compiled language are faced with the difficulty of Perl's sprawling syntax and complete lack of design for compilation, and thus, struggle to implement all the languages features in a compiler.

This question is very nearly meaningless. Perl is a programming language; the reliability of any given Perl program depends on the talent and insight of the programmer.
