I amazing how old programming languages as perl still exist and they have proven to be very usefull.
When I first started programming in perl, I thouhgt it was a tough language and that it was not usefull at all, now a days I have discovered that is extremely powerfull and easy to use (if you have programmes in c++ or c, or something similar) I have used it for server maintenance scripts and related tasks as well as web programming. On the long run I have discovered that perl tends to be a little slow and messy for websites so I have moved to PHP, I think asp is to dump for web, so I rather use php or somethign similar.
Its amazing how perl can do a lot of thing that with java would take a lot of time, lets say open a file, with perl you just execute the command:
open(file_handler,"filepath/filename") or print "error\n\n";
on the other hand asp, or java you need to create an instance then open, let't not mention reading a file.
As far as I have used perl, I can say perl is fantastic, and that it will stay for a while.. for more information about perl you can visit cpan.org, perlmonks.org and some other perl related links. in this blogss I will be posting a few codes from perl script I have made and explanning them.
comments are welcome.
Greeting.
