perl.org Overview

Description of perl.org

perl.org appears to be the official website for the Perl programming language, a long-established open-source scripting and general-purpose programming language. The homepage presents documentation, downloads, community resources, events, and links to CPAN, which is Perl's software archive and package ecosystem. Based on the page title, metadata, and screenshot, the site is intended for both new and experienced developers looking to learn, use, or contribute to Perl.

The site also appears to be closely associated with the Perl community and the Perl Foundation, with content focused on education, open-source collaboration, and developer support rather than commercial activity. Its long domain history, strong traffic ranking, and technical branding all suggest an established project website serving as a central hub for the Perl ecosystem.

Safety Assessment for perl.org

Scan results were broadly positive at the time of this scan. No detections were reported by 0 out of 91 security engines, and the domain was shown as clean by the checked malware and phishing blacklist databases. The website's age, established reputation, and high traffic ranking are also consistent with a legitimate long-running technology project.

One secondary scanner did report a low-confidence "suspicious" finding tied to a single historical HTML page and one referenced external link/domain, using a generic heuristic label rather than a confirmed malware family. Because this appears to be isolated, uncorroborated by other security engines, and not supported by blacklist data, it may reflect a false positive or a caution related to an old outbound reference rather than an active threat on the site itself.

Based on available data, no threats were detected at the time of this scan, aside from one isolated heuristic flag that appears limited in scope.

Technical Description

The domain uses a valid SSL/TLS certificate with an expiry date in late June 2026, indicating that encrypted HTTPS connections are supported. DNSSEC is enabled and signed, which may help protect against certain DNS tampering scenarios. The domain is very mature, having been registered in 1995, and its nameserver configuration appears consistent with an established infrastructure.

Hosting and delivery appear to rely on Fastly's network, with the site served from an IP in the 151.101.0.0/16 range and a web stack identifying as Combust/Plack (Perl). No major infrastructure-level security concerns were evident from the provided data, although the scan did note one historically flagged page containing a link to an external domain that triggered a generic heuristic warning.
