What a story. But I for one has been the patient one and started out with Basic, when I was ten years old I made a program that made a round sign walk down the screen on a Atari 130XE. I thought nothing to it and forgot all about programming for six years.

But then I learned Pascal, didn't see any future. Moved on to C and learned C++ a year after. Visual Basic had a short role. Back to C/C++ combination. Java, Perl and numerous others have I tried. And just as you say PHP isn't bad either but... Perl has an aura of programming that no real programmer can resist...

We all have our reasons to love Perl.
