Chapter 4: Shells
We have mentioned that each UNIX shell can be used as the interpreter for its own programming language. Other interpretive languages supported at Fermilab are perl (provided in the FUE shells product), and gawk (a version of awk; see section 5.4.4). These languages are beyond the scope of this manual. The O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. publishers provide excellent reference texts on them.
