This has been one of the more interesting meditations of
late. There are points to be made on both sides, but I
think I come down a little more on amelinda's side.
Why? Because I have found Perl to be an extremely adaptable language -- much like a swimming pool. I started in the shallow end, using perl for quick-and-dirty substitutions and string rearrangements. As my experience increased, I found myself venturing out further into the pool, even to the point of being over my head. As my skills evolved, and continue to evolve, I find myself doing things I never considered while I was still wading in the shallow end. Perl is a language that can be used by the neophyte and the expert alike, and be of great use to both ends of the continuum. -----
