Name        : perl

Version     : 5.12.3
Release     : 142.fc14
URL         : http://www.perl.org/
Summary     : Practical Extraction and Report Language
Description :
Perl is a high-level programming language with roots in C, sed, awk
and shell scripting.  Perl is good at handling processes and files,
and is especially good at handling text.  Perl's hallmarks are
practicality and efficiency.  While it is used to do a lot of
different things, Perl's most common applications are system
administration utilities and web programming.  A large proportion of
the CGI scripts on the web are written in Perl.  You need the perl
package installed on your system so that your system can handle Perl
scripts.

Install this package if you want to program in Perl or enable your
system to handle Perl scripts.

Update Information:

perl-Padre does not launch on Fedora 14 (and has issues on Fedora 13). All of these issues seem to be tied into perl-Wx being out of date on F-13 and F-14. To get perl-Wx updated to a version which resolves these issues, perl (specifically, perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS) and perl-ExtUtils-XSpp had to be updated at the same time.
