The other day I was at a client that uses Perl in part of their system and we
talked a bit about the language and how we try to promote it at various events.
Their "Perl person" then told me he would not use Perl now for a large
application because:
1) Threads do not work well - they are better in Python and in Java.
2) Using signals and signal handlers regularly crashes perl.
3) He also mentioned that he thinks the OO system of Perl is a hack -
that the objects are hash refs and there is no privacy.
So I wonder what hurts *you* the most in Perl?
