Perl is a widely used general-purpose programming language. It offers great services, including text manipulation, GUI development, and much more. 
 
There were many enhancements from the Perl `5.32.0` release and the `5.34.0` release. [Click here](https://perldoc.perl.org/perldelta#Performance-Enhancements) for a full list of differences between the two versions.

In this shot, let's talk about the **new modules and pragmata** in Perl `5.34.0`. 




# New modules and pragmata
**`ExtUtils::PL2Bat 0.004`** is one of the new modules that are now part of the PERL core. We can use `PL2Bat` to create a batch file for running PERL scripts. This means that all the PERL scripts can easily run on the command line using just the script name. 

`pl2bat` offers several [parameters](https://perldoc.perl.org/ExtUtils::PL2Bat#pl2bat(%25opts)) to interact with users. For example: 

* **`in`**: Mandatory argument denoting the batched script.

* **`out`**: Output file. 

* **`ntargs`**: Using generated batch for invoking Perl. Example arguments include `-x`, `-S`, `%0`, `%*`. 


* **`stripsuffix`**: Removing any suffix from a file name.
