Iīm intending to defend perlīs usage in the academic world.
So, my necessity is to gather arguments to that.

My basic understanding is:
Condidering Perl a simple and powerfull programming language,
whose syntax is similar to the natural language (english) and
that it could facilitate the algorithimsīs learning and at the
same time possess innumerable applications in the most diverse areas,
why not to use the Perl as a tool of assistance in the university education?
Which arguments could I use to convince people that perl is a good
option to the above explained intention?

Thanks;

MAGO

• 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).
