- chromatic 13y agoPerl 5 isn't magic fairy dust you can sprinkle over a project with no deadlines, no pressure to produce anything, and no idea what it's eventually going to be. It's a language for people who want to get something done and who know what that something is. You are probably thinking of Ruby. Wait, Haskell. Hold up, Erlang. Sorry, Node.js.
