Learning Perl wasn't any more or less difficult than any other language I've learned. Are you a new programmer? It might be more difficult for you. Writing good code, reusable code that's easy for other people to read and understand, using meaningful identifiers and simple structures, can be done well in many languages. It's certainly possible to write horrendously bad code in Perl. I've never programmed in C, but I'm told that C has similar syntax. I learned PHP after working with Perl for while, and picked up the basics pretty fast. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
