This free online converter lets you convert code from Lisp to Perl in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -

  1. Type or paste your Lisp code in the input box.
  2. Click the convert button.
  3. The resulting Perl code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Lisp to Perl using this converter. Note that you may not always get the same code since it is generated by an AI language model which is not 100% deterministic and gets updated from time to time.

Key differences between Lisp and Perl

CharacteristicLispPerl
SyntaxLisp has a unique syntax that uses a lot of parentheses and prefix notation, which can be difficult for beginners to understand.Perl has a more traditional syntax that is similar to C and other programming languages, making it easier for beginners to understand.
ParadigmLisp is a functional programming language that emphasizes the use of functions and recursion.Perl is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming styles.
TypingLisp is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.Perl is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.
PerformanceLisp is generally considered to be a high-performance language, with efficient memory management and fast execution times.Perl is generally considered to be a slower language than Lisp, with less efficient memory management and slower execution times.
Libraries and frameworksLisp has a smaller community than Perl, so there are fewer libraries and frameworks available.Perl has a large community and a wide range of libraries and frameworks available for various purposes.
Community and supportLisp has a smaller community than Perl, but there are still active forums and resources available for support.Perl has a large and active community with many resources available for support.
Learning curveLisp has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming paradigm.Perl has a moderate learning curve, with a syntax that is similar to other programming languages and support for multiple programming paradigms.
