Interesting comparison.

My conclusion is that the perl version is, when you fairly space them equally in my way (and that layout is probably personal), less then half the size/typing work of the C# version.

Still, i think you shouldn't compare them really. Now Microsoft 'discovered' the Regular Expressions in most of their languages, you can see they really come closer to Perl. But both are just a different species (IMHO).

Personally, I'll give C# a serious look when i need to use it for my profession. At the moment i code in Perl for conversions of data and it's perfect for the job.

Q: Why did the Perlmonk cross the road?
A: He wanted to escape the match.
