Differences

The following are some key differences between SAS and Perl.

Characteristic	SAS	Perl
Syntax	SAS has a verbose syntax that is similar to natural language.	Perl has a concise syntax that is often described as a 'write-only' language.
Paradigm	SAS is primarily a procedural language with some support for object-oriented programming.	Perl is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming.
Typing	SAS is a statically typed language.	Perl is a dynamically typed language.
Performance	SAS is optimized for data processing and analysis, and is generally faster than Perl for these tasks.	Perl is a general-purpose language that is not optimized for data processing and analysis, and is generally slower than SAS for these tasks.
Libraries and frameworks	SAS has a large number of built-in libraries and frameworks for data processing and analysis.	Perl has a large number of third-party libraries and frameworks for a wide range of tasks.
Community and support	SAS has a smaller community than Perl, but has strong support from SAS Institute.	Perl has a large and active community, with strong support from the Perl Foundation.
Learning curve	SAS has a steep learning curve, and requires specialized training and certification.	Perl has a relatively flat learning curve, and is easy to learn for programmers with experience in other languages.
