Hmm, so the news of Perl's deaths have been exaggerated then?
- misterm 16y agoPerl is still very much alive and well.
- borism 16y agounfortunately if I may add :)
- thibaut_barrere 16y agoWell, something that surprises me is why hasn't this post been upvoted at least once (after 25 minutes) ? I'm pretty sure it can be interesting to many more people (I would be if I loved perl, but I don't practice it).
- btilly 16y agoPerl is easy to learn. It also borrowed from a lot of languages, and a lot of languages borrowed from it, which makes it easier. If you already know C, bash, Ruby, Python or PHP, you will find a lot of carryover to Perl.
- Nate75Sanders 16y agoIf you search on indeed.com, perl has more hits than python and ruby combined by a solid margin. Certainly many of these are for sys admin positions, but I still think it's a pretty telling statistic.
