How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Perl to Julia in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Perl code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Julia code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Perl to Julia 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.
Perl
Julia
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between Perl and Julia
Characteristic | Perl | Julia |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Perl has a complex syntax with a lot of special characters and syntax constructs. | Julia has a simple and intuitive syntax that is similar to MATLAB and Python. |
Paradigm | Perl supports multiple programming paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. | Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language designed for numerical and scientific computing, and supports multiple dispatch, functional programming, and metaprogramming. |
Typing | Perl is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are determined at runtime. | Julia is dynamically typed, but also supports optional static typing for performance optimization. |
Performance | Perl is generally slower than Julia due to its interpreted nature and lack of built-in support for parallel processing. | Julia is designed for high-performance computing and has built-in support for parallel processing, making it much faster than Perl for many tasks. |
Libraries and frameworks | Perl has a large number of libraries and frameworks available for various tasks, including web development, database access, and scientific computing. | Julia has a growing number of libraries and frameworks available for scientific computing, machine learning, and data analysis, but its ecosystem is not as mature as Perl's. |
Community and support | Perl has a large and active community with many resources available for learning and support. | Julia has a smaller but growing community with many resources available for learning and support, including online forums, documentation, and tutorials. |
Learning curve | Perl has a steep learning curve due to its complex syntax and multiple programming paradigms. | Julia has a moderate learning curve, with a simple and intuitive syntax and many resources available for learning and support. |
