I think of this like spoken languages. Sure English is great. We know it cold, it's the offical language in North America (US&CAN) and the European Union. But even within those regions, there's advantage to speaking other language. It allows you to move comfertably from one situation to the next.

Using only Perl would allow you to do just about anything. But as Fastole and jcwren mention, sometimes you need another language that better fits a situtation. Here in Canada, French and English are offical languages, and when I took a trip to Montreal, I brought along a French/English dictionary so I could be better equiped to deal with anything that came up.

Well, that's my two cents.

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.
