Re^2: Why do people say 'Perl' is dead?!?!

The only question that remains for me is why oh why do so many in the Perl5 community insist on wanting to write Java in Perl?

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Because they can. Remember, in Perl There Is Always More Than One Way To Do It. That is really the beauty of the language. You can choose whatever coding style you prefer and Perl will just do the right thing (patent pending :-) A proper programming language should always try to help solve to problem, not trying to enforce the original designers misguided attempts at defining a coding style that fits everybody. Don't use '#ff0000': use Acme::AutoColor; my $redcolor = RED(); All colors subject to change without notice.	[reply]
