| Paradigm | R is primarily a functional programming language, but it also supports object-oriented programming. | Perl is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. |
| Typing | R is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | Perl is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. |
| Performance | R is not known for its performance, especially when dealing with large datasets. | Perl is known for its performance and is often used for system administration tasks. |
| Libraries and frameworks | R has a large number of libraries and frameworks for data analysis and visualization. | Perl has a large number of libraries and frameworks for text processing and system administration. |
| Community and support | R has a large and active community of users and developers, with many resources available online. | Perl has a smaller community than R, but still has many resources available online. |
| Learning curve | R has a steep learning curve, especially for those without a background in programming or statistics. | Perl has a moderate learning curve, but can be difficult for those without a background in programming. |
