( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I don't deal with Windows very much but the point about system administration is well-taken. Maybe the situation is a bit analogous to being able to use vanilla vi? (I prefer to use Vim of course.) In the Unix world, at least, no matter where you go, vi is there. The same is true of Perl. I was also glad to hear that there's nice new shiny stuff on CPAN these days.

However, not to be antagonistic, but the strength of "whipupitude" is something that Python and other, similar languages (at this point most prominently Ruby and JavaScript) certainly have to about the same degree as Perl. It's why I asked about more unique strengths of Perl in the present time.

Community is certainly a more intangible but no less vital asset. I've seen "what is with everyone else?" and have occasionally been guilty of it. But for the most part I try not to be too much of a dillhole. When I'm dealing with intelligent people, as in a place like this, that goal becomes much easier to achieve.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
