The developer would send the specifications back to the customers or sales team for approval and further negotiation. Perl can generate documentation based on templates and the customers demands and forward it on to everyone involved. The developer would start to develop the project based on the specification. Perl can help retrieve software modules from existing code databases, generate make files, and make custom code. The customer can retrieve the code via e-mail after sending the inquires, providing no additional error occurs.
Documentation is a key issue in keeping the software architecture.
Perl has its own method to help the programmer write, code, and document into one file and then generate the required documentation format specified. Here you can see how Perl could potentially improve the development process, making it faster. Perl can also be used as an agent to browse the whole software catalog and then compose an abstract of software modules, easing the learning curve of a new software module. During debugging, Perl can help the developer debug the code and keep track of the process. And during production, Perl can help the manufacturer test and program the devices.
