hello,
I got into learning Perl because some people on IRC said so. at first I wasn’t interested in Perl because I already know Python and Python can almost do anything Perl can. I still gave it a try to kinda have some experience learning new language. I am on chapter 3 right now and would make another post about my progress.
I like perl.
$scalar @array my sub use ‘=~’
…and a lot of shit perl borrowed from C. With such a small subset of the language (perhaps less) you can write lots of useful programs.
