I feel it got a reputation of @#$@#(==~/s(.*)+) language that was updated last time in 1995. Not that it is uncapable of @@->$/=+s{}. But when you
use Modern::Perl;
use Moose;
it's quite different thing. Perl6 may become cool, but it's a different story.
(Moose is full-grown object system, with meta object protocol, nice syntax and implemented completely as a library).
- _delirium 13y agoI kind of like the non-modern parts of Perl myself, for some of the original purpose of making a superset of sed+awk+sh with better control flow constructs and better performance. I don't entirely understand why sed/awk are so popular on HN but old-style Perl isn't, since it's generally nicer and usually faster, for most things the sed/awk/sh combo would be used for.
