Microservices are rarely extraction or reporting ... seems like a horrible misuse of the language (CRUD).

  > Microservices are rarely extraction or reporting Perl is just Perl now, just as LISP is now just Lisp; Perl is not, if it ever was, the "Practical Extraction and Reporting Language", any more than Lisp is now "LISt Processing".

    And if we're talking about the other version of the acronym, then Perl is ideal for webservices and related technologies. Listing rubbish is what a lot of the modern web seems all about.

  I'm surprised people still think of Perl like this. You realize Perl is being used by major sites such as imdb, booking.com, and duckduckgo? Maybe try watching the video before making a critical comment.

  I treat perl as "ruby, except faster and with non-castrated OO"
