Re: The Perl Hacker Inferiority Complex

Why hide behind anon monk?

How is Perl5 hard? I am not a programmer by trade and I was able to write things.

Unless of course you are that snob that wrote about writing perfect code.

Perl is not going away anytime soon. New languages are just like fads. Some last, many don't, and some you never hear about.

It doesn't mean anything, but I haven't heard about Eclipse....

Why hide behind anon monk? I don't remember my password (I'm jdrago_999) and I can't check the email address it goes to (my work email) from home. How is Perl5 hard? It's not hard - it's super easy. And super powerful. And, to paraphrase Larry Wall, maybe just a little too flexible at times. I haven't heard about Eclipse.... Eclipse is a platform that happens to have a popular Java IDE built on top of it (as well as several other languages, including Perl). You can learn more at The Eclipse Website	[reply]

Yes! We need a best IDE that Eclipse... but as long as with Eclipse we can program in Perl (screenshot). (Komodo is the best commercial tool, of course)	[reply]
