I have one word for you, actually it is an acronym CPANThe thing that really makes Perl the ideal language for me is the community behind it.When I first started my job here I was forced to use ASP w/VBscript. There is nothing comparable to the CPAN or places like perlmonks out there. I posted a question on a site about 4 months ago and I still have not recieved a response. When I hit that site my monk instincts had me answering all these questions because there seems to be no one out there (in ASP land) willing to help each other. I believe Perl is as versitile as JAVA (if not more), but the community behind it (CPAN, PM.ORG, PerlMonks.org, O'Reilly, ActiveState and countless others). Plus the Camel maskot is a hell of a lot cooler than a cup of coffee!! --BigJoe Learn patience, you must. Young PerlMonk, craves Not these things. Use the source Luke.
