In many ways I find just the opposite true. While everyone has there own biases I've found more 'fair' treatment of differing languages (OK PHP seems to have a bad odor around here) there seems to be at more 'use the right' tool philosophy expressed here than other 'non-perl' sites. While there are always those with loud biases I think dislike is a bit strong. It's a Perl site so naturally the bias is to Perl. The sentiments nothing like OS wars.

As for me personally I like Perl over C for sheer speed of development. I can make a script in Perl do what I want faster than I can in C. But if performance or scalability is an issue I go with whatever is the right solution for the problem

coreolyn Did I actually type PHP? Oops I did it again.. gotta go wash my hands *g*
