Add: PERL Dynamic datatypes and allocation. Pattern matching with regexps. Data formatting. Access to system calls. Weird syntax. Lisp-like scope rules. No distinction between program and data ("EVAL" and "DO" functions). PERL = Practical Extraction and Report Language. Modula-2 Separate module definition and implementation. Heavily block-structured. Very strong typing. Combines the benefits of Pascal with the very few good features of C. Please resume once in a while, this will be an interesting topic.
