> Also, lots of people still use Perl. Lots of people still love Perl. I don't know why. Perl still holds a special place in my heart. It's so forgiving that it's perfect for banging out something that gets the job done in a couple minutes but while I most often use it for something quick and dirty you can still put in some time and planning to write something complex and maintainable too. I'm not sure there are major projects being written in perl today, but it's the language I still use for automation of day to day admin stuff and for pretty much all of my log/mail parsing needs.
