Subject: RE: Perl - Was Unix time conversion function
For me, it was either Perl or an icky bass-ackward pipe-laden
awk/sed/regex
unmaintainable bastion. OK, I couldn't get rid of the regex. While I'll
not be entering the Obfuscated Perl contest anytime soon, I think Perl is
much easier to understand for a "traditional" programmer (Assembly, BASIC,
COBOL, FORTRAN, and a little C). I bought O'Reilly's "Learning Perl", and
most of what I needed to do was in the book as an example.
Also, on scant nights I've even been rolling my own KISS-method Perl/Tk
OEM
replacement. Sorry Jared, but sometimes I like GUIs! :)

Cary.... I once thought I wanted to do some Perl coding... So I bought a
book and started to play with it. It made my head bleed... literally I had
little droplets of blood emerging from my head.... They rushed me to the
hospital and put me in the Perl ward where I languished for days on IV's
of
Mountain Dew and pulverized Ritz crackers..... it was close.
In my mind there is nothing obvious about Perl, this coming from and old C
coder who did pointers and linked lists in his sleep years ago. I don't
know, maybe I was having a bad day and it's time to get my "learning Perl"
book out again....
Anyone else feel that way about Perl or am I a lone wolf in a Perl world?
