Key differences between Perl and C

CharacteristicPerlC
SyntaxPerl has a more flexible and expressive syntax compared to C.C has a more rigid and structured syntax compared to Perl.
ParadigmPerl is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming paradigms.C is a procedural language that does not support object-oriented or functional programming paradigms.
TypingPerl is a dynamically typed language, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.C is a statically typed language, meaning that variable types are determined at compile time.
PerformancePerl is generally slower than C due to its interpreted nature and dynamic typing.C is generally faster than Perl due to its compiled nature and static typing.
Libraries and frameworksPerl has a large number of libraries and frameworks available for various purposes, including web development, database access, and scientific computing.C has a smaller number of libraries and frameworks available compared to Perl, but it has a strong focus on system-level programming.
Community and supportPerl has a strong and active community with many resources available for learning and support.C also has a strong community and support, but it is more focused on system-level programming and may not have as many resources available for other areas.
Learning curvePerl has a moderate learning curve due to its flexible syntax and multi-paradigm nature.C has a steep learning curve due to its rigid syntax and low-level nature.
