Hmmm... Didn't knew there was so much effort, I guess I should give Perl a try, the fact that I don't like does not mean I won't like it, still from what I have seen I don't it's syntax (namely I don't like C's one). Again I'll give it a try as I would hate making a bad choice and finding time later Perl would have been more appropiate. But I hardly see this happening as I find Perl gives too much power to the developer (having pointers in a script scares the hell out of me). --Sergio El 28/3/2015 19:36, "Joel Roth" <[email protected]> escribió: > Sergio Tortosa Benedito wrote: > > > I have also heard about Perl for administration, but truth is I don't > like > > it, neither the language nor the stale state it is right now (not that I > > have used that much, pretty much only in a subject). > > Well, not liking it sounds like a good reason not to use > it for your own projects. :) > > But Perl isn't stale!
