Re^3: Perl in the Enterprise

Are you saying that Perl is a "PC based" programming language? It's more of a Unix-based language (and Unix definitely did not originate with PCs) that has been ported to just about everything.

Now, if you're saying that C# isn't the best language to use for something like that because it's a "PC based" language, I agree. Perl may also not be the best language for such purposes, but not for the reason you stated.

I mean "PC" as in the general view of what "a computer" is (i.e. keyboard, mouse, monitor, hard drive, motherboard, etc) regardless of the OS, as opposed to, say, a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) which has the single purpose of solving logic and only consists of the processor and some IO cards. If all you need to do is take some inputs, do some logic, and set some outputs, its a lot easier and more robust if you use something that only does that.	[reply]
