in reply to Since I discovered Perl, I've given up:
Worrying about how I was going to get something done. I was always reasonably sure that between C, Java, sed, awk, bash, and Tcl/Tk, I would be able to get just about anything done that I needed to, but with Perl, I'm ALWAYS positive that there is a way, and that it won't take much to learn how to implement. And thanks to this place, I'm doubly sure of the latter.

++starX,
I was thinking much the same thing, but wondering how to put it into words. Then I saw your post.
It captures the sentiment exactly, for me. With Perl, it's no longer a question of "whether" it can be done, just "how" best to do it. It always felt possible in C, but not ever quite so easy.
There's an amazing empowerment that Perl imbues one with, isn't there! ;-D
