Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Scala 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.

Scala

Perl

Example 2 - Even or Odd

A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Scala

Perl

Key differences between Scala and Perl

Characteristic	Scala	Perl
Syntax	Scala has a concise and expressive syntax that is similar to Java, but with some functional programming features. It uses semicolons to separate statements and curly braces to define blocks of code.	Perl has a flexible and powerful syntax that allows for a lot of shorthand and shortcuts. It uses semicolons to separate statements and curly braces to define blocks of code, but also has many built-in operators and functions that can make code more concise.
Paradigm	Scala is a multi-paradigm language that supports both object-oriented and functional programming styles. It has features like higher-order functions, pattern matching, and immutability that make it well-suited for functional programming.	Perl is a procedural language that also supports some object-oriented programming features. It has a lot of built-in functions and operators that make it well-suited for text processing and system administration tasks.
Typing	Scala is a statically typed language that uses type inference to reduce the amount of type annotations needed. It also has a type system that supports algebraic data types and pattern matching.	Perl is a dynamically typed language that does not require type annotations. It also has a flexible type system that allows for implicit type conversions and type checking at runtime.
Performance	Scala is a high-performance language that can be compiled to run on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It has features like lazy evaluation and tail recursion optimization that can improve performance.	Perl is an interpreted language that is not known for its performance. However, it has many built-in functions and modules that can be used to optimize performance for specific tasks.
Libraries and frameworks	Scala has a large and growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Akka, Play, and Spark. It also has seamless integration with Java libraries and frameworks.	Perl has a large collection of modules and libraries available on CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network). It also has integration with C libraries and can be used for system administration tasks with tools like Perl Scripting.
Community and support	Scala has a growing community of developers and users, with active forums, mailing lists, and conferences. It also has commercial support available from companies like Lightbend.	Perl has a dedicated community of developers and users, with active forums, mailing lists, and conferences. It also has commercial support available from companies like ActiveState.
Learning curve	Scala has a steep learning curve, especially for developers who are not familiar with functional programming concepts. However, it has a lot of resources available for learning, including books, tutorials, and online courses.	Perl has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers who are familiar with other scripting languages. It has a lot of resources available for learning, including books, tutorials, and online courses.
