Yes.

One in which the language is abtracted away from the underlying
hardware. For example, assembly language is low level, C is generally
considered high level, and Perl is at a higher level still.
You may well find other definitions. One of Perl's strengths is that it
lets you think about problems in ways which are less constrained by the
language itself than most other languages allow. This is often the
hardest part of really learning Perl. It has nothing to do with
learning syntax. It requires a different way of thinking about
programming.
