Key differences between Python and Perl

CharacteristicPythonPerl
SyntaxPython has a simple and easy-to-learn syntax that emphasizes readability and reduces the cost of program maintenance. It uses whitespace indentation to delimit code blocks instead of curly braces or keywords.Perl has a complex syntax that can be difficult to read and maintain. It uses a lot of special characters and regular expressions to achieve its flexibility and power.
ParadigmPython is a multi-paradigm language that supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.Perl is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming styles.
TypingPython is a dynamically typed language, which means that variable types are determined at runtime.Perl is a dynamically typed language, which means that variable types are determined at runtime.
PerformancePython is generally slower than compiled languages like C or C++, but it has a reputation for being fast enough for most applications. It also has a number of tools and libraries for optimizing performance.Perl is generally slower than compiled languages like C or C++, but it has a reputation for being fast enough for most applications.
