How Perl Works" Perl is a fairly straightforward, widely known and well-respected scripting language. It is used for a variety of tasks (for example, you can use it to create the equivalent of DOS batch files or C shell scripts), but in the context of Web development it is used to develop CGI scripts. One of the nice things about Perl is that, because it is a scripting language, people give away source code for their programs. This gives you the opportunity to learn Perl by example, and you can also download and modify thousands of Perl scripts for your own use. One of the bad things about Perl is that much of this free code is impossible to understand.

The illusion of diversity Three firms control 89% of US soft drink sales. This dominance is obscured from us by the appearance of numerous choices on retailer shelves. Steve Hannaford refers to this as "pseudovariety," or the illusion of diversity, concealing a lack of real choice. To visualize the extent of pseudovariety in this industry the authors developed a cluster diagram to represent the number of soft drink brands and varieties found in the refrigerator cases of 94 Michigan retailers, along with their ownership and/or licensing connections. 4 Python Web Frameworks Compared — Six Feet Up, Inc.
