Hi Ovid,

Perl is too slow for AI programming in general, but it's a great way to explore basic concepts

I completely agree with this comment. However, we should not forget that using wrappers to well established C/C++ or Fortran routines can provide the benefits of an easy to use application without affecting the processing speed (see for instance PDL)

Build simple dynamic Web pages. Download music. Post to your blog...

This one would be a very interesting book, indeed

By the way, thanks for the reference to P5NCI, it looks like a very useful and interesting module I did not know about

Cheers,
