I'd have to agree, C64 V2 Basic, then Turbo BASIC/Pascal, and finally Perl. Now I program for a living in SAP's ABAP (think COBOL + SQL) and it drives me mad at the number of things that are built into Perl and are easy to do and are hard in ABAP. Don't even mention CPAN, SAP has nothing even comparable, everything has to be written or bought in...
Once you get use to a language like Perl, it is hard to go back to a less programmer friendly one.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
