Perl is often used as a
glue language, tying together systems and interfaces that
were not specifically designed to interoperate, and for
"data munging", i.e., converting or processing
large amounts of data for tasks like creating reports.
In fact, these strengths are intimately linked. The combination
makes perl a popular all-purpose tool for system administrators,
particularly as short programs can be entered and run
on a single command line.
