Hi Bruce, It's not unusual to see glowing reports about Perl on a Perl mailing list. However, I like to share a couple of points I think Perl has a problem with. a) Huge projects/programs. Perl is not an easy beast to keep on a leash. Perl doesn't really force you to keep your code tidy and IMHO

RE: Learning Perl vs. c ++

The import is not the language, is the work. I would not do a web site with C++, but I would not do a real-time aplication on Perl. So where do you want to work? What do you need to do? Marcos -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
