Hello all, I am thinking of changing the main language I code in into Perl. I did do some small Perl code in the past. But I am thinking of making it my Primairy language. Now I code ANSI C the most and I think I should switch to perl since its getting more and more fustrating that I have to Compile it to Assembler and since of that the Debugging language is Diffrent and I have to learn my own Code again.. And thats annoying. Also I love CPAN.. I am a Native Assembler coder by heart but as that is getting to much work nowerdays. I Switched to C. The programs I write Primary are security related. Like PassSniffers, ARPPoising tools, EggDroppers etc. So I'd like to know, can Perl directly execute OpCodes? Since I use that in Win32 for Plugin Functions. And how fast is Perl? Since Python it to slow to my taste, as is Java. I want to use perl on Win32 and Linux. Also, inline Assembler is supported right? Thanks already, I hope I can get some nice advice on perl. And Id love to hear if its the language for me. Gr. Robin
