I think the comment that you make about feeling spoilt by the flexibility and capability of Perl is absolutely fair - Moreover however, I have found Perl to provide a robust and flexible basis from which to learn more about how things can (and at times, should) be done.

Indeed, from the knowledge basis that Perl has given me and the rounded understanding about how system processes and applications should be development, I have been able to build quite extensively upon the preliminary knowledge that I had in some lower level languages and concepts to work nearly wholly in embedded and new-hardware development environments. This work includes tasks such as interpreting schematics and developing hardware drivers, developing embedded firmware and developing commercial communication protocol implementations, a level of development which I once thought would be beyond me.

In short, I think the flexibility and capability of Perl is not so much a limit for cross-development on other languages and platforms, but rather a spring-board from which I can test and experiment with new ideas ahead of launching into more advanced development challenges.

 

perl -le "print unpack'N', pack'B32', '00000000000000000000001000000000'"

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
