Re: I want to know the problems in Perl

you've asked your question poorly

but I want to share a bit about threading.

I do not know threading in Python, but I know that threading in Perl is bad - it is memory hungry and not stable.

I very much suspect that Python's threading is also bad.

Other than that, perl serves me much better compared to any other language - it rocks really much :)

Bad threading behaviour in perl isn't much of a problem these days. Listening to my managers/salespersons/cleaning staff, these days you do most stuff "in the cloud" (e.g. as webservice) anyway. And on webservers you don't thread, you fork 8-) More seriously: I my opinion, the best way to choose is to learn the basics of both and try to code small routines you would need in your project. The language that causes the least hairloss (or grey strains, whatever rocks your genes) will be the language of choice.	[reply]
