Re: How much Perl useful ?

Nowadays, microsoft(vb.net) and sunbeam products(java products) is some high pitch than perl. so, what is the reason why they prefer those softwares. so what are the drawbacks in our software. How we going to solve them the bugs in possible ways.

I would say that one of the big things is that .NET comes on most new computers. A Java Runtime Environment comes on most computers. Perl doesn't come on most (Windows) computers by default. And that's one of the big problems.

I don't really know how to solve that though.

If we giving awareness in perl what are the points we can mention.
(and all of your questions about advantages)

Why do you like using Perl? There are the advantages. Me, personally, I don't feel like I need to be concentrating on syntax all of the time. Also, I don't feel like I have to worry about all of the details all of the time. That means to me that I can get right to the heart of the problem without worrying about everything else... which makes me work faster.

It was a learning curve, but once I got it, I can do something in Perl a lot faster than in any other language! That doesn't mean the programs run faster; that means I'm done faster. For the amount of computation I tend to do, that a program run time of 30s vs. 20s doesn't matter if it took me an hour to program in Perl vs. three hours in a different language.

Just another "right tool for the job" project. I've used python before, it's not a bad language, I just don't feel comfortable with all the rules. When I write code in perl I don't think about those rules, I just write the code. I prefer perl over almost any language I've used in the past, doesn't mean I get to use it all the time though. When another language makes more sense for the job, I switch gears. I figure I can always look forward to my next perl project. :)	[reply]
