Hey guys! Im completely new to the community and know nothing of Perl, im a third year student of Software Engineer and I chose to write an essay (about 10 pages) about this exciting programming language. Id love to get some help as I am completely lost. What are some main points that I cant miss? What is Perl most used for professionally? What are some similar languages and what are the key differences between them? Any of this helps or if anyone has any ideas, im lost here! Its due like next week, no big rush

I read the man page and I tried searching, but either my search skills have significantly deteriorated or search engines have, because I have trouble now finding any technical answers on google/etc regardless of the question.

With MakeMaker, one can set the CFLAGS with OPTIMIZE="whatever" as an environmental variable when running perl Makefile.PL

It then gets put in the generated Makefile

With perl Build.PL which does not use make I can not figure out how to do the equivalent.

It must be simple, I just can't find it.

Thank you for suggestions.
