Differences

The following are some key differences between Perl and Python.

Characteristic	Perl	Python
Syntax	Perl has a complex syntax with many special characters and multiple ways to accomplish the same task.	Python has a simple and easy-to-learn syntax with a focus on readability and a preference for code that looks like plain English.
Paradigm	Perl is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming.	Python is a multi-paradigm language that supports object-oriented, procedural, and functional programming.
Typing	Perl is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.	Python is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.
Performance	Perl is generally faster than Python for text processing and regular expressions, but slower for numerical computations.	Python is generally slower than Perl for text processing and regular expressions, but faster for numerical computations.
Libraries and frameworks	Perl has a large number of libraries and frameworks available, but not as many as Python.	Python has a vast number of libraries and frameworks available, making it a popular choice for data science, web development, and other applications.
Community and support	Perl has a smaller community and less support than Python.	Python has a large and active community with extensive documentation and support available.
Learning curve	Perl has a steeper learning curve than Python due to its complex syntax and multiple ways to accomplish the same task.	Python has a relatively easy learning curve due to its simple syntax and focus on readability.
