( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
In my work as a QA professional, I have found that Perl is perhaps the best language for scripting the low level hardware systems that I'm using. So I use it every day (like today.) I see lots of jobs offered that just require some scripting experience - either Perl or some other language will at least get you in the door. So professionally, I find that Perl is a great asset. That does not mean the Perl is perfect. I also enjoy programming in that other "P" language - and find that some things are easier to do there than they are in Perl. On the other hand, some times I find myself wishing that I could do something there that is simpler and clearer when expressed in Perl. All languages have their strengths and weaknesses. Picking the right language for a particular task can be difficult - and is often constrained by the existing programming environment. But Perl is a good choice for many tasks and I have yet to find a community that is as helpful and supportive for any other language than you'll find right here.

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.
