in reply to Teaching Perl inside an Academic Course

Which would be the advantages and benefits of Perl's usage on academic formation?
Well, that depends on what "academic formation" is. What does "formation" mean?

    "Formation" means 'education'--formação in the OP's native language. Educação, on the other hand, is 'rearing' or 'upbringing'. I'm so used to Euro-English that I didn't even notice that this would be a problem to understanding. ;)
