Differences

The following are some key differences between Lua and Perl.

Characteristic	Lua	Perl
Syntax	Lua has a simple and flexible syntax that is easy to learn and use.	Perl has a complex syntax that can be difficult to learn and use, but it is also very powerful and expressive.
Paradigm	Lua is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming.	Perl is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming, but it is primarily used for procedural programming.
Typing	Lua is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are determined at runtime.	Perl is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are determined at runtime.
Performance	Lua is known for its fast performance and small memory footprint.	Perl is not known for its performance, but it is still widely used for its powerful text processing capabilities.
Libraries and frameworks	Lua has a small but growing collection of libraries and frameworks, including the popular LÖVE game engine.	Perl has a large collection of libraries and frameworks, including the popular Catalyst web framework.
Community and support	Lua has a small but dedicated community of developers and users, with active forums and mailing lists.	Perl has a large and active community of developers and users, with many resources available online.
Learning curve	Lua has a relatively low learning curve, especially for those with experience in other programming languages.	Perl has a steep learning curve due to its complex syntax and powerful features.
