- krylon 10y agoI have written a number of CGI scripts (in Perl, of course) at work, and my relationship with it oscillates back and forth between love and hate. I would like to replace it very much, because I don't like Perl 5's type system very much (and something like Moose is overkill, IMHO, for a 500-line-script). But it's just so damn useful, and most of the time I can get something to work faster than with Python or Go. So I might not love Perl, but you could say I respect it very much.

- stevekemp 10y agoIt shouldn't be too hard to write that, I know on Debian systems it is trivially easy to package CPAN modules as Debian packages, via dh-make-perl.
