i didn't find perl terribly difficult to learn at all, but then again i learned it 12-15 years ago and maybe it was more on par with other languages at that time. don't think i would want to learn it now though, still have a strong appreciation for it though.
- wvenable 10y agoPerl is full of strange grammatical rules and even stranger conventions that it's one of the few languages I learned 15 years ago that I can't just pick up and use. I've forgotten basically everything I ever knew about it and yet other languages from the time period, even some odd ones, I can still grasp enough to restart the process.
