Its a never ending argument but the best advantage of Perl (according to me) is light weight, very fast, Open Source, CPAN modules, excellent documentation, small and easy way to do complex thing and community support like this mailing list :). And the best thing which I like about Perl compared to Java is you don't have to compile and then run the byte code. I just hate that in Java (sorry to say that). :( > - What is the career growth, road map in Perl programming ? Its very good and Perl is in great demand. Perl is being used in most of the Server side and database testing and in most Automation and administration tasks. To name few, its being used by top most companies like Akamai and NetApp (and the list is very long). I would always recommend to learn Perl to any beginner. > I am not sure , if this questions are right for this group mail or not , > just asked .
