So what's your gripe with Perl, then?
Haha. I knew somebody would bite sooner or later.

Write something largish (> 500 lines) in perl and then write the same
program in python.
Then you'll understand.

The fundamental philosphies of the two languages are very different. All
decisions regarding each language are based, directly or indirectly, on
their corresponding philosphies. <deep> A metaphor for an individual's
behaviour, I think </deep>.
Many different decisions in the design of Windows and Linux (see, on
topic again!) can be traced to the different philosphy of their creators.
There are some articles on the www regarding the different philosphies
of perl/python, but I'm too lazy to google for them right now.
As for C, the older I get, the less I like it (unless I'm writing I
program that outputs C code. Then it's OK).
Cheers,
Carl.
