This free online converter lets you convert code from Perl to Lisp 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 Lisp code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Perl to Lisp 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.

Key differences between Perl and Lisp
Characteristic | Perl | Lisp |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Perl has a C-like syntax with many special characters and regular expressions. | Lisp has a unique syntax based on S-expressions and prefix notation. |
Paradigm | Perl supports multiple paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. | Lisp is a functional programming language that supports procedural and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Perl is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | Lisp is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. |
Performance | Perl is generally slower than compiled languages but faster than interpreted languages. | Lisp is generally slower than compiled languages but faster than interpreted languages. |
Libraries and frameworks | Perl has a large number of libraries and frameworks available for various purposes. | Lisp has a smaller number of libraries and frameworks available compared to other languages. |
Community and support | Perl has a large and active community with many resources available for learning and support. | Lisp has a smaller but dedicated community with many resources available for learning and support. |
Learning curve | Perl has a moderate learning curve due to its complex syntax and multiple paradigms. | Lisp has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming paradigm. |
