How to use this tool?

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

  1. Type or paste your Matlab 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 Matlab 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.

Example 1 - Is String Palindrome

Program that checks if a string is a palindrome or not.

Key differences between Matlab and Perl

CharacteristicMatlabPerl
SyntaxMatlab uses a syntax that is similar to traditional programming languages, but with a focus on mathematical operations and matrix manipulation.Perl has a syntax that is known for being flexible and expressive, allowing for a wide range of programming styles and approaches.
ParadigmMatlab is primarily a procedural programming language, but it also supports some object-oriented programming concepts.Perl is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming styles.
TypingMatlab is a dynamically typed language, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.Perl is also a dynamically typed language.
PerformanceMatlab is known for its high performance in numerical computations and matrix operations.Perl is generally not as performant as Matlab in numerical computations, but it excels in text processing and other areas.
Libraries and frameworksMatlab has a large library of built-in functions and toolboxes for various applications, as well as support for external libraries.Perl has a large collection of modules available through CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) for a wide range of applications.
Community and supportMatlab has a large and active community of users and developers, with extensive documentation and support resources available.Perl also has a large and active community, with many resources available for learning and getting help with the language.
Learning curveMatlab has a relatively steep learning curve, particularly for those without a strong background in mathematics or programming.Perl has a reputation for having a steep learning curve due to its flexible syntax and many features, but it can also be learned gradually and incrementally.
