Key differences between Fortran and Perl

Characteristic	Fortran	Perl
Syntax	Fortran has a fixed-format syntax that requires specific column positions for statements and can be difficult to read. It also has limited support for modern programming constructs such as object-oriented programming.	Perl has a flexible syntax that allows for a lot of shorthand and can be difficult to read for beginners. It also has a reputation for being a 'write-only' language due to its heavy use of regular expressions.
Paradigm	Fortran is primarily a procedural language, but it does support some object-oriented programming concepts.	Perl is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming styles.
Typing	Fortran is a statically typed language, meaning that variable types must be declared at compile time.	Perl is a dynamically typed language, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.
Performance	Fortran is known for its high performance in scientific and engineering applications due to its efficient memory management and optimized compilers.	Perl is not known for its performance and is generally slower than other languages due to its interpreted nature and lack of optimization.
Libraries and frameworks	Fortran has a large number of libraries and frameworks available for scientific and engineering applications, but it may be more difficult to find libraries for other types of applications.	Perl has a large number of libraries and frameworks available for a wide range of applications, including web development, system administration, and text processing.
Community and support	Fortran has a smaller community than some other languages, but it is still active and has dedicated users. There are also several online resources and forums available for support.	Perl has a large and active community with many online resources and forums available for support.
Learning curve	Fortran has a steep learning curve, especially for beginners who are not familiar with scientific or engineering applications. However, it may be easier to learn for those with a background in mathematics or physics.	Perl has a moderate learning curve, but its flexible syntax and heavy use of regular expressions can make it challenging for beginners.
