in reply to Help me with my essay/talk on programming?

Perl, not so much a language as a culture. Culture, medium used to grow bacteria. Verbs - bind, chomp, chop, pop, push, shift, splice, open, rename, die, m/ /, &doSomething( ) etc. Nouns - $variable, $objectRef etc. Colloquialisms/synonyms - $_ @_ $0 $! etc. Conjunctions - if, and, or &&, || etc. adjectives - eq, ne etc. Making a coherent sentence or talk from the above double dutch, could be fun, but I haven't got time sorry.
