Below are a list of Perl ports and binaries for various systems. Listed here are also the places where you can get the source code for Perl, should you want to compile it yourself or embed it into your program. Note that if you use Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X or a Unix-type system, chances are that you already have Perl on your system.

- mod_perl
mod_perl is an embedded Perl interpreter for the Apache web server. Since it is integrated into the HTTP server, the server does not need to start a separate Perl interpreter process to interpret your scripts, possibly reducing the overhead on your server and improving the response times of your script-driven pages.
- MacPerl
If you use a Macintosh, you might be interested to know that there is a Perl port. There are versions for both the 68K and PowerPC processors. It can run under the Mac OS Finder or the Macintosh Programmers Workshop (MPW) (which you can also get free - see the Free C/C++ Compilers page for details). It is not just a port since it also includes additional Macintosh-specific features.
