Every language has both flaws and features; Give *something* a try. Learn it. Use it. If you're not satisfied (or more likely get curious about other languages), try something else. Knowing idiosyncracies of a language, like the things Adam pointed out, only keeps you from learning things the hard way. If you think perl is the only language that suffers from idiosyncracies, you will be very disappointed. JCR
